about me

 

Hi there! I’m Kelly. I’m a passionate doula and childbirth educator based in Bridgeport, WV, where I live with my husband and our four children. We are a homeschooling family and love spending time in nature in the beautiful hills of West Virginia. 

my journey to becoming a doula

The births of my children were each totally unique and transforming. Those experiences filled me with passion for helping other women through this incredible journey. Giving birth is a profound, miraculous experience — and I believe it’s a time when women should feel completely, incredibly supported. On my own journey, I have experienced hospital births, an unplanned home birth, and a water birth in a freestanding birth center. I was supported by a doula for two of my births and experienced the power of having a wise woman beside me, holding my hand and helping me through. Although I draw on my experiences and education to support families, I believe deeply in honoring each woman’s individual story and needs. I’m here to listen, to really see you, and to help you have the best experience for you and your baby.
