Founder

Birth, Postpartum, and Infant Care Doula

​

My journey into birth work began with my own experience of motherhood, which deeply shaped my understanding of the challenges and joys of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I’ve felt a calling to be a birth and postpartum doula as a way to connect with generations of women before me. Birth is one of the most vulnerable experiences a woman will ever have. I am honored to be allowed into the inner circle while holding space for each mother as she is reborn into motherhood. As a mother of five, I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone who listens, reassures, and provides nurturing care during this life-changing time. That experience, combined with my professional training, allows me to provide evidence-based, compassionate support to families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Utah, am trained through DONA International, and cross-certified as a Birth and Postpartum & Infant Care Doula through ProDoula. I offer personalized support for the unique needs of each family I work with to ensure you feel empowered, nurtured, and confident. My perspective comes from the belief that birth is an extremely personal and sacred experience. Every mother deserves a space where she feels safe, respected, and supported in her choices.​

Birth and Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator

​

Birth and postpartum doula support, childbirth education and nutrition are my life’s passions. My approach to birth-work is to ensure the client receives the best care possible through education, breast- or bottle-feeding guidance during postpartum recovery, and to support healthy infant care practices. Assisting families in childbirth and recovery has provided life changing experiences.

Becoming a DONA International certified birth and postpartum Doula provided the knowledge to support couples during childbirth and postpartum. By certifying as a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, educating couples in pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and infant care continues my commitment to the childbearing family. As a Registered Dietitian, discovering your best nutrition healthy practices is my goal. I look forward to supporting you during postpartum recovery and providing nutrition consults for lifelong health.

Postpartum Doula

I am a DONA trained Postpartum Doula in the Southeast Idaho Area. I became a doula after I learned how many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsupported during the fourth trimester. I find joy in nurturing, assisting, and advocating for new mothers, their babies, their partners, and additional siblings. My passion is gaining information about everything postpartum to provide support and encouragement to new and seasoned parents. I am a mother and a grandmother and decided sharing my time and knowledge can help other young families during this magical time. I continually take classes and seminars to keep updated on all things baby and family. I would love to be there for you and share in this joyous time in your life.

Paula brings a wealth of experience to the table, having earned her Bachelor's Degree from Pepperdine University and worked with infants, young children, seniors, and those with dementia for over 30 years. She has also continued her education and earned certifications in Birthing, Postpartum, Infant Care, and Alzheimer's.
