A doula is born…
My journey as a doula began as I started looking into a career in midwifery. Having been attended by midwives during my pregnancies and births, I wanted others to feel as safe and secure as I did. I was quickly persuaded to look into doula trainings, and when I did, I was blown away. SUPPORT. RESPECT. COMPASSION. KNOWLEDGE. EMPATHY. It was everything I wanted to be to someone else, and I was determined to make it happen. I trained with DONA INTERNATIONAL and now I am helping to bridge the gap between clients and their medical team and giving them back the control of their births! It’s truly the most magical thing!

Hi, I’m Cassie!
I have experienced pregnancy, birth, postpartum and lactation personally for the last thirteen years. I now have had the honor of living it professionally since 2019. I feel very passionately about changing the standard of care here in the US and believe that it does change with every person who goes into this journey with evidence-based resources, validation, and feeling wholly supported. I am always adding to my skills with various trainings, so I can support the different needs of my clients. Doula work matters, and I love being a part of it.
As a homeschooling mother of seven kids, we are always off exploring the world around us. You can often find us hiking in the woods, building forts, learning at museums…or jumping off of stuff. Our biggest homeschool lessons to date were when five of my children supported me during the homebirth of my sixth baby and then again when my six kids watched baby number seven enter the world. I love to knit and craft; My Pinterest Board is overwhelming. My happy place is the beach, and in a perfect world everything I do would be conducted overlooking some large body of water or with a Miniature Highland cow by my side. I love adventure and learning new things, maybe that’s why I love birth so much!
