Who am I?

I own Gold Coast Doulas in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and co-created the Becoming A Mother course. I co-host the Ask the Doulas podcast where we interview experts in the birth and baby space weekly. The podcast started in 2017. I love to travel and supporting women is my jam! Check out my website at: www.goldcoastdoulas.com. I am an elite certified birth and postpartum doula and an agency owner. I am also a mother myself. I have collaborated with experts in the birth and baby space for years and wanted to share their wisdom in an accessible way.
