About Me

I come to families' homes to help support them with the perspective that postpartum is a time in our lives that is very physical, mental, and spiritual. I believe this perspective is very important to insure the family is getting the best postpartum support that they can.

​

I've always known that my passion is helping and teaching so after taking a sociology class with a social worker in high school, I decided I would go to college for social work. I graduated from Buena Vista University in 2013 with my Bachelor's in Social Work. I've worked in the social work field with families in Sioux Falls for over 10 years.

​

A few years later I went to a class about essential oils, started using them, and fell in love with this alternative to mainstream products. Thus begun my clean living journey. Now I teach about essential oils, clean living, and sell essential oils and clean products as well.

​

In 2019 I had my first son with the support of a birth doula. I learned about the many benefits of a doula through that experience. As a new parent I soon realized there are a lot of gaps in information and support for new parents. In the fall of 2020 I took a Postpartum Doula workshop through DONA International and started my postpartum doula work here in Sioux Falls, SD. In January 2022, I became a certified postpartum doula through DONA International. Click on the Postpartum Doula tab to learn more about what I am currently offering. 

​

This combination of social work experience and essential oil experience has lead me to be a huge advocate in holistic health- looking at health as a whole- mind, body, and spirit as well as the many sociatal factors that impact our overall health.
