Read Bio

During the course of her experiences, she has excelled in developing her hands-on approach with her patients. Her expertise and gentle spirit have always given patients the confidence to face challenges head-on. While working with midwives, she was exposed to a new word when she was asked to document who the patient and her “doula” were. Not knowing what a doula was or did, she did some research, and she was intrigued.

As time passed in the OB/GYN office, patients began inviting Lynn to attend their births. Not as a part of the medical staff but as a calming supportive presence for woman-to-woman support. From the first birth she attended (in addition to the parent’s doula) she knew she had found her calling. Having given birth to a daughter and a son without labor support, she saw the great advantages of having a woman with the knowledge of both the labor process and an understanding of medical decisions that are made in labor.

She began her path to becoming a labor doula through DONA training. She has been a labor doula, guiding women into the journey of motherhood since 2012. She believes each of the 800+ births she has supported is unique and supports each parent in their personal birth choices.
