What shaped your attitude about birth? On a whim, one fateful day in 2008, I accepted an invite from a friend in the throes of nursing school to go see a special screening of The Business of Being Born at the University of South Florida. That night, with motherhood seemingly years away from me at that point, my eyes were opened forever. I was surrounded by doulas and medical professionals, as well as moms and dads who cared passionately about birth, and decided that whenever the time came for me to have a child, I would do things differently.
Little did I know, less than a year later I would become pregnant with my first child and begin researching all things related to childbirth. And at 28 weeks, I did a very brave thing, and my husband and I transferred care to a local birth center to increase my chances of having a natural birth.
Where did you find your passion to become a childbirth instructor? 11 weeks later, my first child was born on a very peaceful, sunny and serene day at the birth center. After she was born, despite several obstacles she and I both had to overcome after her birth, I became a huge birth advocate.
Fast forward several years, and I’ve seen been blessed to deliver three healthy babies in a hospital setting each time using a doula to help achieve our goals. Each pregnancy I learned more and more about one of the most incredible highs a woman might ever experience: birth. I was officially obsessed, and I wanted to equip other women in the same way I had been.
After my third baby I decided it was time to do something about this obsession and became certified as a childbirth instructor. I love empowering other women with tools and knowledge to achieve the birth they desire!
