I’m honored to support families through one of life’s most profound and powerful transitions.

I hold a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University in Human Development and Family Studies with a focus in Psychology, and I bring that knowledge into my work with a deep understanding of the emotional and relational layers of the perinatal journey.

I am a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) as well as a Hypnobabies Certified Hypnobirthing Instructor (HCHI). I have also completed Craniosacral Fascial Therapy & Craniosacral Therapy training to ensure families are supported wholly during their healing and feeding journey.

My path to birth work began with the pregnancy and birth of my son—a deeply transformative experience that reshaped my life and inspired me to support others during this sacred time. That calling led to the creation of Empowered Motherhood Collective, LLC. A future vision of a space where families feel nurtured, seen, and empowered through collaborative care with perinatal professionals from all specialties.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting families from all walks of life—first-time parents, families seeking healing from past birth experiences, and those welcoming multiples. My approach is rooted in continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. I honor your journey and walk alongside you with the intention that you feel safe, informed, and deeply respected.

Birth Doula Support

Birth is one of the most transformative experiences of your life, and you deserve support that extends far beyond labor itself.

My doula care emphasizes education, preparation, advocacy, and continuous support. Unlike many traditional doula packages, I intentionally include my other services into my visits because I believe the work we do before and after birth is just as important as the hours we spend together during labor. These visits give us the opportunity to build a trusting relationship, explore your options, create a birth plan that reflects your values, practice comfort measures, discuss partner support, and prepare for the realities of postpartum and newborn life.

When labor begins, I provide physical, emotional, and informational support tailored to your unique needs. Depending on your preferences, I incorporate evidence-based comfort measures such as movement and labor positioning, counterpressure, rebozo techniques, TENS therapy, aromatherapy, Hypnobirthing, and Craniosacral Therapy and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT/CST) techniques when appropriate. My role is to help you feel safe, informed, and empowered while supporting your ability to make confident decisions throughout your birth experience.

Why Empowered Motherhood Co.? Because birth is not just a moment—it's a transformation. At Empowered Motherhood Co., I believe that education is essential to feeling confident, calm, and in control throughout your journey.

Matrescence

Pregnancy, birth, feeding, and postpartum are all connected. My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports your entire transition into motherhood.

Whether you're preparing for labor, learning to breastfeed, or navigating the challenges of a having a newborn, you'll have a trusted professional by your side who already knows your story, your goals, and your family.

Every service is designed to help you feel supported through every stage of your journey.

Lactation Support

While every feeding journey is unique, having knowledgeable support can make a significant difference in helping you reach your goals with confidence.

Whether you're preparing during pregnancy, welcoming your newborn, navigating latch concerns, managing milk supply, pumping, returning to work, or considering weaning, I provide individualized, evidence-based care that meets you where you are. Together, we'll work through challenges, answer your questions, and develop a feeding plan that feels realistic and supportive for your family.

What makes my approach unique is my focus on the whole feeding relationship—not just breastfeeding technique. Feeding difficulties can be influenced by birth experiences, body tension, oral function, nervous system regulation, and the physical comfort of both parent and baby. Drawing on my training in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) and Tethered Oral Ties (TOTS), I assess these contributing factors and, when appropriate, incorporate gentle bodywork to help reduce tension, improve comfort, and support more efficient feeding.

I also believe that exceptional care is collaborative. When additional support is needed, I work closely with pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, chiropractors, dentists, bodyworkers, and other specialists to ensure your family receives comprehensive, coordinated care.

Postpartum Support

The postpartum period deserves as much care and attention as pregnancy and birth. Healing, feeding, recovering, and adjusting to life with a newborn can be both beautiful and overwhelming, and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone.

Our postpartum visits provide dedicated time to process your birth experience, support your physical recovery, answer newborn care and feeding questions, assess how you're adjusting emotionally, and help you build confidence in your new role as a parent. Whether you need practical guidance, reassurance, or simply someone to listen, my goal is to ensure you feel supported long after your baby arrives.

At Empowered Motherhood Collective, care doesn't end at birth. My commitment is to walk alongside you throughout pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum—providing personalized, compassionate support every step of the way.
