ABOUT

We were born with mother energy. When I innocently inquired why someone would have so many children, she proudly proclaimed with a big smile that she always wanted two things: To be a Nurse and the mother of many children. She achieved both those dreams. Born as my mother’s ninth child, she was not done yet.

​

Listening to my mama’s belly became a daily pastime for me as a small child. I would run over to her to ask to feel “my baby” putting my hand on her belly before dashing off to play again. I was too small to truly understand the levity of birth outcomes. I did understand that I had a baby brother coming soon. I stood at the front door of our home after mama was whisked off by my father to “give birth”. I waited holding the edges of the door for what seemed like forever, only to be greeted by my father with an expression on his face that I will never forget. He was speechless when I asked where my baby was. The time I spent with my baby brother during my mother’s pregnancy was significant, as it was the only time I would ever get with him. I didn’t know it at the time, but my life’s passion began that day. I spent the remainder of my
youth attending births, caring for the babies born into my family and loving every moment of it!

​

I became a healer and welcomed my new life as a Nurse. Despite helping hundreds of people, I felt there was more I could do. I soon added doula to my passion for Nursing and a fierce drive to see mamas thrive. Angelo became an angel but his spirit lives on in every sacred birth I witness, every successful breastfeeding journey and every peaceful postpartum. Oh how I wish my mother had someone like me at her bedside when Angelo was born. It brings me great joy to know Angelo’s wings were not gained in vain. What I could not do for my mother, I most certainly will do for you!
