Welcome!
Congratulations on your growing family! I believe women have the right to be informed of all their choices when it comes to pregnancy, birth and infant care. I am here to help parents gather all the information they need to achieve a joyful pregnancy, experience an empowered birth, and to have a happy, relatively stress-free postpartum period.
I have been a doula since early 2012, though my interest and studies in pregnancy and birth began a few years sooner. My doula certification is through Birth Arts International, which I completed in early 2013. I am also studying to be a Master of Herbalism through Heart of Herbs Herbalism School, which affords me the ability to share with you my in depth knowledge of healing and nourishing herbs. I offer a variety of herbal products, all of which are available at a 10% discount (for life) to my clients. See www.AuntieNatals.com to see my complete line. Custom herbal blends are available as well, dependent upon your specific needs.
Outside of my life as a doula, I am co-owner/operator of The Belly, Birth and Beyond Expo in Appleton and Growing Up Green Bay. I recently co-founded The Metta Birth Project, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides childbirth education, birth and postpartum support to low income and teen mothers in the Fox Valley and Green Bay.
My journey into motherhood has fueled a passion to help other mothers learn ALL of their options during their childbearing year. Ultimately, the pregnancy and birth is yours, and if you choose to birth in a tree, I’ll cheer you on from the ground, but I want you to know every detail in order to make an informed decision. I spend a great deal of our prenatal time together providing information and education as well as emotional support and encouragement.
To date, I’ve attended in the range of 60 births, some in the capacity as a midwife’s apprentice. My experience includes high risk, VBAC, vaginal twin birth, vaginal breech, planned cesareans, unforeseen complicated births, and perfectly normal, peaceful births. I carry a neonatal resuscitation certification and have a large degree of lactation experience, especially troubleshooting latch and supply concerns.
If you're still questioning whether a doula is right for you, consider the following articles:
