About

This work is my calling — rooted in a deep respect for the strength and sacrifice of women, the transformation of birth, and the sacredness of new life. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, trained through DONA, and support families across the DFW metroplex with compassion, evidence-based knowledge, calm presence, and a deep trust in the process of labor.

My path to birth doula work began with my own birth experience; having a doula during my pregnancy was so helpful to me and made me feel much more knowledgeable and in control of my birth. Unfortunately, the birth of my son did not go as planned for many reasons: my doula could not attend my birth, I had preeclampsia complications, and my son was in a breech position. Birth is a transformation, but it can also come with trauma. My experience compelled me to become a doula to hopefully help other women have better birth experiences than I did. I’m also passionate about postpartum care; in the time after giving birth, I felt vulnerable and, although I had endured a major physical and emotional event, I was not often the focus or concern. Even amidst so much joy and love for my son, people quickly began asking about the baby and forgot to ask about the new parents. I want to be the doula that I wish I could have had! The role of postpartum doula is to “mother the mother”, to educate and encourage new parents, and ensure the new family is thriving together. My love of caregiving and my passion of supporting other mothers is combined in the role of postpartum doula.

The idea of Root and Vine Doula Services began with a love for all things earthy and nurturing: gardening, herbalism, slow living, and the cycles of the seasons. I see birth and postpartum as rites of passage — tender, powerful, and worthy of reverence. Root and Vine was born from the belief that just like plants, families flourish when they are seen, supported, and given the right conditions to grow. As your doula, I offer grounded, holistic care through pregnancy, labor, and the early weeks of parenthood. Whether you’re seeking a steady presence during birth, gentle support in the fourth trimester, or simply someone to remind you that you are not alone — I’m here for you.
