Personal Profile:
Hi there! I'm Meg, natural-born nurturer and mother of three. I have a 6 year old that I home-school, a 12 year old in middle school, and a 19 year old college sophomore at University of Texas. I love music festivals, crafty home projects, and traveling to tropical destinations. I have taught BLS for healthcare providers, along with infant CPR & choking for 10 years, as an American Heart Association instructor. I have also worked at my local hospital in the pediatric ER, as well as Labor & Delivery, processing doctor's orders for the past 5 years. I began studying the physiology of birth and labor in 2019 and soon decided that I wanted to officially become a trained, Certified Birth & Postpartum doula.
I have a gift for creating peaceful environments, assisting with breastfeeding, and baby soothing. My intention is to empower and support you, especially in your most vulnerable moments, so that you may embrace your inner strength and settle into your new normal - full of confidence!
