ABOUT NANA GOOSE
A Helping Hand,
A Calm Presence
I am not new to the birth world. I have four children and raised them as a single mom. I have ten grandchildren and just recently became a great-grandmother! (He calls me Nana Goose.) I attended and participated in three of the births of my grandchildren — so I was a doula before I was a doula!
I have spent most of my life as an Integrative Nutritionist, helping others deal with chronic illnesses using diet and lifestyle changes as tools for healing. I love that my two worlds connect — helping couples trying to conceive, or supporting them during pregnancy and postpartum, can also benefit from nourishing the body.
Becoming a doula felt like a natural segue to the next opportunity in my life to serve others. I love being able to support families during such an important and intimate time and contribute in a positive way. It is so valuable to have someone who can advocate for you during birth and carry that burden so you can focus on your job: bringing that beautiful baby into the world. Someone with the skills to get you through wherever your birth journey takes you.
Having a doula by your side during labor, birth, and postpartum is an addition that can make all the difference in this special new beginning. I look forward to being there for you!
