Sam

CERTIFIED BIRTH DOULA


I found birth work after I had my own natural birth and it has lead me to being a DONA certified doula. Birth work gives me the chance to make a difference in others lives with my care and kindness. I value being able to share my knowledge and provide guidance through the birthing process, helping mamas have the birth they prefer. When I’m not working as a Doula I enjoy going on adventures with my daughter. We like to visit the zoos and animal sanctuaries around central Florida.
