My journey to becoming a CERTIFIED DOULA

About Samantha – Christian Birth & Postpartum Doula

Hi, I’m Samantha—wife, mama of five, homeschooling enthusiast, and a proud Christian doula. When I’m not tending to my family, you can find me nurturing my sourdough starter or singing my heart out. I also love reading a good book or squeezing in a quick workout. My greatest joy is exploring new places and making lasting memories with my loved ones.

While my Christian faith is a guiding force in my life, I understand that each person’s journey is unique. My mission is to support families with love, respect, and unwavering care, regardless of their background or beliefs. No matter where you are in your own story, I am here to walk alongside you with authenticity and compassion.

My Journey to Becoming a Faith-Centered Doula

My journey into birth work began with my third pregnancy in 2017, when I had the privilege of welcoming my baby at home with a midwife. The experience was profound, empowering, and deeply connected to my faith. It was a moment that inspired me to become a doula, as I witnessed firsthand how childbirth can be a transformative experience when a woman is supported with knowledge, compassion, and trust.

But my birth journey didn’t stop with that first homebirth. My experiences have been varied, each one shaping how I serve my clients today. From navigating a rushed cesarean to dealing with postpartum complications, each birth taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, fear, and the importance of holistic care.

Why I’m Here for You

I understand how important it is to feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout your entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. No matter what your birth looks like—whether at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center—my mission is to support you in every way possible. I focus on holistic, faith-centered care and offer guidance through every stage of your journey.

Every birth is a sacred experience, and it is an honor to support you with unconditional love and empathy. From preparing for labor to navigating postpartum challenges, I’m here to ensure you feel heard, cared for, and empowered.

Let’s Connect

If my journey resonates with you and you’re ready to begin this empowering experience, I’d love to connect. Together, we can create the birth experience you’ve dreamed of, offering you the compassionate, faith-driven support you deserve every step of the way.

With love and solidarity,

Samantha

The Five Births That Shaped My Calling

Birth 1: Learning to Trust Myself – At 19, I became a mother for the first time. I didn’t know how to advocate for myself, and I followed my medical team’s advice without question, which led to an induction at 37 weeks for possible preeclampsia. Despite this, I birthed my baby naturally within 8 hours, reminding me how important it is to trust in my body’s ability and intuition.

Birth 2: Precipitous Labor and Trusting My Instincts – My second birth was fast and unexpected. After an NST showed no signs of labor, I went home, only to start feeling cramps that rapidly progressed into intense contractions. My body knew what to do, and in just over two hours, I was holding my healthy baby in my arms.

Birth 3: The Homebirth That Sparked My Calling – This birth was the turning point in my journey. Despite previous miscarriages, I chose to have a homebirth with a midwife. While the pregnancy was smooth, things took a turn during labor when we discovered that my baby was in a breech position. Due to regulations, midwives in my area aren’t allowed to deliver breech babies, so my midwife quickly called emergency services. However, my baby came into the world before they arrived! It was an unexpected turn of events, but it was also a moment of empowerment, as I was able to deliver my baby without complications. It solidified my calling to support others in this sacred space. Though my midwife couldn’t legally deliver a breech baby, she expertly coordinated with emergency services and provided unwavering support, making this birth unforgettable.

Birth 4: A Birth Center Experience – My fourth birth took place at a birth center with nurse midwives. While I was able to have a water birth, I felt the tension and stress of a potential transfer, and it wasn’t as peaceful as I had hoped. I now understand how important it is for mothers to feel calm and fully supported during labor, and that every birth experience, no matter how planned, can have its own challenges.

Birth 5: The Birth That Led Me to Doula Work – My fifth birth was a traumatic experience that forever changed me. I experienced complications that led to a cesarean, followed by a difficult postpartum recovery with postpartum preeclampsia and emotional struggles. It was a dark time, but through prayer and reflection, I realized that I wanted to help other women avoid the isolation I felt during my recovery. This experience was the catalyst for my decision to become a doula, and I now dedicate my life to providing the compassionate support I wish I had during my own journey.

“A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years, and in your heart until the day you die.”
