My love of the birth process developed naturally, through the wonderful, all natural births of my daughters, one at the hospital and one at home. My loving husband Mike and sweet doula Rebecca inspired and helped me relax and work with my labor. As a result, I had remarkably short, easy and joyful labors. My training with Bradley Method in 2001 and learning from each and every Bellabirthing couple's birth since 2002 has enriched my knowledge of and compassion for the unique experience of birth.

Currently I teach 4 and 8 week natural birth preparation classes. My classes are small with a lot of personal attention. I love that some of my best girlfriends are former students. My classes focus on the normalcy of birth and instill a confidence in the natural process, whether couples birth at home with midwives or in the hospital with doctors. In addition, I offer my services as a doula. I love the adrenalin rush that comes from helping a mom birth just the way she wants and the complete joy of seeing a baby be born into the world. I feel tremendously blessed to have found a way to make a positive difference in the world and can't imagine a better job.

I've lived in the Gallatin Valley for 15 years and my heart is definitely in this place. I grew up in Lewistown where my dad is a horse trainer and my mom is a retired medical office manager. I have a fabulous husband, Mike, and two beautiful daughters, Katalyn and Isabella, and a very loyal Kelpie dog, Bear cub. I graduated from MSU with a Master's in History in 2000. These days teaching birthing, doula work and home schooling my girls keep me very busy. I can be reached at 388.0707. www.bellabirthing.com

My passion for birthing began from an early age.  I was fascinated by pregnant women and spent my time by their side whenever I had the opportunity.  Through my personal experience with my two children, I fell deeply in love with the miracles of pregnancy, labor, birth and the newborn.  My road to having a career in the childbirth field became a vision after having a Birth Doula during my second pregnancy and birth. 

Now as a mother of two and a Certified Birth Doula (DONA), I support women through their personal birthing choices. My model of care is centered on a caring and encouraging relationship during pregnancy, through the birth and into the postpartum period.

My professional experience includes working with birthing mothers and their families in the hospital and homebirth environments. I have worked as an assistant with a Certified Professional Midwife on numerous births and have gained valuable knowledge of the birthing process, infant care and breastfeeding through this opportunity.  I graduated with a BS in Health and Human Development, which provided a strong understanding in the psychological side of birth and family systems. 

I attended Health Works Institute and graduated as a Massage Therapist in August 2008.  I have combined my work as a Doula with my massage training and offer wellness, pregnancy and postpartum massage.
