About me

Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. My journey began when my mother had a brain injury while I had three younger siblings that I helped care for as she slowly recovered. I then became a nanny, where I spent five years caring for children of all ages. While I cherished every stage of childhood, it was during my time working with newborns and infants that I discovered my true passion--nurturing families through the delicate and transformative postpartum and newborn period. 

​

I quickly realized how vital it is for new parents to feel supported, informed, and cared for during this time of transition. Witnessing the challenges and joys of early parenthood firsthand inspired me to deepen my knowledge. I have spent three years focusing exclusively on infant care, gaining hands-on experience in feeding, sleep routines, and soothing techniques, while providing reassurance and support towards new parents navigating their roles. 

​

Motivated to expand my ability to care for others, I also pursued training as a nursing assistant, further strengthening my foundation in health and wellness. This background, combined with my practical experience, fueled my desire to specialize in postpartum and newborn care. As my passion for holistic postpartum care grew, I deepened my studies and became trained in Ayurvedic postpartum care, an ancient practice focused on nurturing the mother's physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery after birth. This approach allows me to provide rituals, nourishing meals, herbal remedies, and gentle bodywork that promote balance during the postpartum period. 

​

Today, as a doula, I feel incredibly honored to walk alongside families as they welcome new life into the world. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based support, and a deep respect for each family's unique journey. I believe every parent deserves to feel confident, empowered, and nurtured--and it's my mission to provide the care and guidance to make that possible.

​

Whether you're looking for hands-on help with your newborn, emotional support, evidence-based education, or gentle encouragement as you navigate this new chapter, I am here to help you feel truly supported.

I began Beyond Bump Mamas to support parents during every phase of the parenting journey-- preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have experience in each of these phases, and chose my business name to reflect the continuation of care. My branding is inspired by nature to evoke the serene, healing feeling of being in the forest or near a river. I have spent the last 9 years hiking and backpacking whenever I get a free moment, feeling more inspired each time I return. 

​

I live a nature-inspired life through my diet, exercise, and interactions with others. At 14, I began having extreme stomach pains. At that time, I researched and tested every gut health and holisitic healing modality I could find to get rid of this pain, since doctors could not tell me what was wrong. I discovered the importance of whole, warm, and easily digestible foods. I discovered tinctures, curated tea blends, and castor oil packs. I implement these practices and principles today in my cooking with clients to help them with sensitive postpartum digestion. 

​

To keep my body and mind healthy, I frequently participate in yoga (often aerial yoga), home exercises, walks, gentle chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, mental health support, and functional medicine check-ins. I mention this so you know that I practice what I preach! I am not here to judge or force my ways upon you, but rather to meet you right where you are and guide you along a path of nourishment and goodness. I leave space for you to bond with your baby and feel wellness in your whole being while I take care of the rest.
