Here’s a bit of my story. I can’t wait to hear yours.
Hi there! I’m Megan (she/her). I’m so glad you’re here and considering doula support for your or your partner’s upcoming birth. I believe all parents deserve judgement-free, evidence-based support during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
My journey to fully birth obsessed began during my first pregnancy. I needed to know all the things and hear all the stories. I quickly learned that many birthing people, especially those in marginalized communities, do not receive the care they deserve during their journey to and through parenthood. This is when I discovered doulas and the support they provide. So I hired my doula, had two supported and empowering birth experiences and went on my way as a mom of two, working a typical 9-5 in corporate marketing— never quite shaking a new found desire to make a difference in the birth community. Fast forward a few years, endless heart-to-hearts with my family and friends about making a change and I finally enrolled in a doula training. I truly believe this is what I’m meant to do and I’m so glad to have found my way here. My goal as a birthworker and lactation educator is to empower birthing people and their partners through judgment-free and evidence-based support.
When I’m not doula-ing, I’m usually spending time with my husband, our two daughters and two elder pups. Before parenthood and a pandemic hit, you could find us skiing, hiking, trying new restaurants, taking on a house project we probably should have left to professionals or binging our favorite shows. Now, you’re more likely to find us at a local park, swimming pool or in our backyard. A meaningful conversation over a cup of coffee or glass of wine is the way to my heart.
I am honored to support families in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs.

More on my experience & training.
What started as countless hours listening to birth podcasts and reading every story I could find has grown into a deep commitment to learning and serving families. Over the years, that curiosity has led me through a variety of trainings and hands-on experiences that shape the way I support birthing people and their partners today.
