Meet Vanessa

Vanessa is a DONA and ProDoula trained birth doula and childbirth educator with a passion for information. Vanessa loves helping families prepare both body and mind for their transition into parenthood. Vanessa has a positive and upbeat personality that brings comfort and confidence to those she meets.

Vanessa believes birth is a natural process that works. She teaches families what to expect in labor, how to manage labor, and how to birth with confidence. Providing evidence-based information and options for your family to discuss and decide what feels best.

As a mother to 3 children, Vanessa knows and understands how powerful the right support can be for a family. After experiencing a stillbirth of their third child, Vanessa was inspired to become a doula by the nurse who helped deliver her angel. The amount of support she felt during that birth completely changed how she felt about birth. She knew she needed to help others experience a higher level of support during their births as well.

With a background in healthcare, Vanessa has no qualms about speaking up and helping moms advocate for their choices. She provides space and time for choices to be made based on information and intuition, not fear.

In her free time, Vanessa loves spending time with her family, working in her garden, baking, and playing softball.
