Hi, I’m Sam! I’m so excited to talk birth with you! I’m a registered nurse (RN), doula, and certified birth assistant. I don’t know what it is but I just love pregnant women!! Something about the pregnancy experience is so ethereal and I love to be a part of it again and again. I didn’t realize my deep passion for birth until a clinical rotation on the labor and delivery floor during nursing school. I had never witnessed the birth of a baby before and had never experienced it myself—I was absolutely amazed at the power within women and the spiritual nature of creating new life. From then on I became obsessed with all things birth and knew I wanted to be a support to families during such a transformative time.

I love every phase of the birthing journey—pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Each stage is incredibly beautiful, and I want women to experience them in the most positive and empowering way possible. As a nurse, I’ve worked in several different areas of medicine. Among those areas are OB/GYN clinic and Mom & Baby in the hospital. These experiences have given me a strong foundation that I bring into my work as both a birth doula and a postpartum doula.

Experiencing pregnancy and birth myself only deepened my love for its spiritual and sacred nature. I’m devoted to helping women feel the special connection to God that often emerges during this season of life.
