About Me

Family Focused

I graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology and Health. I am a Certified Exercise Physiologist, and Exercise is Medicine Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine. After working in a clinical setting teaching fitness classes and personal training, I found my passion in the prenatal community. I became certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Exercise.  During my certification process I found the opportunity to become a certified Birth Doula. I felt this was a perfect way for me to strengthen, educate, and empower women before, during, and after labor. I am happy that I can now offer "full service"  to women and their families during this exciting time of their lives. 

I am married and a mother of two. I currently live in Ames, Iowa. I have a passion for helping educate and empower women, through exercise, education, providing support, and building long lasting relationships with mothers and their families. My hope is that I can teach women how to better support themselves both mentally and physically throughout their pregnancy, and help them make informed decisions about their birth and care of baby.
