Practice overview
I am a veteran wife and a mom of 2. I have 5 fur-babies, 2 reptiles, a bird, and a 10gal fish tank. I am a birth and sibling support doula, breastfeeding consultant, womb light/reiki practitioner, and Simply Earth essential oil wholesaler. I start my journey to birth doula after I had did some research on becoming a breastfeeding consultant. I want to help mothers to have the help and education they deserve on having the pregnancy, labor, and delivery of their choosing. I want to help mothers have a successful breastfeeding journey. With my knowledge and techniques I have been able to help mother and partner take the stress out of being life into this world.

I realize now how absolutely unprepared I was. At our first meeting Heather gave me a sample birth plan and helped tailor it to my needs, encouraging me to take it back home and go over it with my husband. There were so many delivery options and procedures that I wasn’t even aware of, and I know I would have been totally overwhelmed if I didn’t walk into the hospital with a plan of action.
I labored at home for several hours, and Heather came by my house to help with pain management.
At the hospital she was an invaluable voice of reason and made sure I knew exactly what was happening at any given moment. During delivery I was very disrespected by my doctor and Heather did a wonderful job both advocating for me and making sure I had the correct information should I choose to pursue legal charges.
My breastfeeding journey was off to a rough start at first, and Heather was an amazing resource and a huge encouragement during our postpartum appointments. It was especially helpful to have her stop by and check on my daughter’s latch.
She is a wealth of information, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!”

January 22, 2021 at 9:08 am | Client reviewMy first pregnancy I did without a doula and my midwife was hardly involved. It was pretty traumatic and I don’t have the best memories from that pregnancy. But with my second, I decided to get a doula, and Heather agreed to be mine. She was in constant communication with me through my pregnancy. She checked up on me and even though I was already a mother and went through labor before, she helped educate me and gave me so much information I didn’t know about the first time around. She helped make my pregnancy and delivery so memorable. I delivered in a birthing center in Wichita Falls on Christmas Day 2019. My husband was overseas and my mother in law was with my daughter but Heather stayed by my side the entire delivery. I was worried how it would be for me to deliver without my husband but through the 2 hours in labor and after the birth Heather never stopped giving me the support and attention I needed. I felt such a great connection to her the first time we met, and my oldest daughter absolutely adores her! I never thought I’d be able to have a birthing experience like this one. I had a lot of doubts about doing it without medication this time around and family stress had a big negative impact for me. But Heather believed in me. She never pressured me, instead, she encouraged me to believe in myself and follow the plan I believed I was strong enough to do. And I did. I couldn’t possibly thank her enough for the experience she has given me.
