Artfully Born Birth Solutions

I am a birth doula, certified through DONA international, serving the Charlotte area. I am also a midwifery student. I began working as a birth doula in June 2008.  I serve on the board of Natural Beginnings Birth Center in Statesville and am an active presence in the local birth community as an advocate for the midwifery model of care and women's choices in birth.

As of December 2011, I have attended over 100 births and counting! I am truly blessed to walk with women in their
journey through pregnancy and birth. It is my desire as a doula to help educate and prepare a woman for the process of
labor, and to help her to find the confidence within herself to face her birth without fear and anxiety.  I attend births at CMC-Pineville and Davis Hospital.  I also attend out of hospital births in Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
