DONA-Cerified Birth Doula | Knoxville, TN

Welcome! A little about me… My approach to birth is grounded, practical, and evidence-based. I value the wisdom passed down through generations while also staying informed by modern medical evidence. Birth is not a “one size fits all” scenario. I am here to provide you with information and support the decisions you choose for your family.

I have been a professional birth doula for four years, serving families of East Tennessee. I am certified through DONA International and have received specialized training to support survivors of sexual assault. In addition, I have experience supporting high-risk clients, TOLAC/VBAC clients, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, military families, hospital births, and homebirths.

I am a Knoxville native - Go Vols! My wife and I have been married for five years and we have two daughters; one is in high school and one was born in the summer of 2026. I am also the director of a local nonprofit cat rescue. I specialize in bottle-feeding neonates and caring for cats with special needs. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and reading.
