Home Life
I make my home in Kaukauna, WI, with my husband, Steve, and our children, Nathan, Levi and Elizabeth.
We are also blessed to have the company of Nathan's fiance Codie.  One of our sons, Timothy, is grown and
recently married to our new daughter-in-law Emily.  My days are filled assisting mothers-to-be with
pregnancy related issues, attending births, teaching birth education, raising my family,
and fulfilling my new role as  Project Manager at Elizabeth Ministry International.

Professional Life
I am a certified doula and childbirth educator. In searching for my mission in life, I have found that I have
a heart for women who yearn for more from their birthing experience.  Having birthed 4 babies myself,
each birth with its own uniqueness, having completed both doula certification and childbirth
education training, I feel I have much to offer others who are about to be blessed by a miracle.
Living life as a doula is the most fulfilling career I could ever imagine.
