Certified Birth Doula

Certified VBAC Doula

FOUNDER

The youngest of 6, and proud Auntie to 20 kiddos, I’m a Dutch girl (the inspiration for my business name, Tulip Doula services :)), born and raised in Southeastern WI. I love my Jesus, my husband Matthew, my family, and my country. I love our beautiful Lake Michigan, sparkly white winters, and of course, my endearing midwestern people, who take 12 hours to say goodbye. You can catch me cozy on my purple couch with a crispy cold brew or herbal tea, watching anything Jane Austin, or reading a good victorian novel, or something about pregnancy & birth! I love exploring our beautiful earth, teaching piano, watercolor painting, my little bunny (Gilbert), and the obvious one, snuggling babies and supporting mammas! This girl loves people – from living in New York, to Canada, to England, I’ve learned that love is the same. From homebirth to hospital birth, sisterhood is the same. What we crave is real, meaningful conversation and friendship. Constancy in the storm. And that, Dear Friend, is my gift to you. With nearly ten years of experience and 140 births and counting, I am equipped to be the empowering, fearless, and caring doula you need me to be for your pregnancy and childbirth. I’ve got your back, Sister!

My Story

Ladies! We need each other! Doula-ing is my heartbeat and one of the most magical paths I get to walk. It encompasses my love of adventure, sisterhood, and sweet babies - born and unborn. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved three things: my Savior, Jesus Christ, finding and creating beauty in unexpected places, and precious children - beautiful souls the Lord asks us to steward. Pregnancy and birth have always been a wonder to me. Part of my calling is to ensure that women never feel alone, especially in pregnancy, labor and birth, and even into motherhood. From conception to natural death, life is a miracle at every stage – worthy of protection, agape love, and celebration. I’m amazed and grateful that I get to be part of the most breathtaking moments. The sweet intimate moments. My heart loves the first cry your baby calls out to you, the soft lines in her hands and feet, the tiny lashes, when her eyes lock with yours for the first time…You are a miracle. Moments matter!

Psalm 139:13-16

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.”

My nephew because...well, just because! — My nephew, because…

well, just because! =D
