My Story / Womanifesto
From the time I was a small child, I’ve been obsessed with babies and traveling. As a kid, I was often called a cultural chameleon or told that I’d been bitten by the travel bug early on. I started traveling on my own at 15, always finding ways to make it work on incredibly tight budgets—often by offering childcare in exchange for room and board.
​
Cultures fascinate me, and squishy babies fuel my soul.
​
In 2018, I traveled to Tanzania for the first time as a relatively new doula, offering my heart and hands to laboring mamas. It didn’t feel like a big leap to travel that far for birthwork; in fact, I remember feeling some sadness at the lack of culture shock. My immense privilege in how much I have traveled has never been lost on me.
​
I was born in Denver, CO, but my family moved to Paris, France, when I was four. From that point forward, I was considered a "third culture kid." I had to learn how to navigate different worlds and often found myself acting as a bridge—whether as a translator or cultural guide—for my American parents.
​
During my teen years, I was one of those kids eager to "save the world." In fact, my college application essay was all about my ten-year plan to ensure that all the children of the world were sheltered, fed, educated, and loved.
​
What’s funny about that action plan I sent to universities across the country is that, to this day, it still represents my mission statement—although the path to get there has evolved.
Today, my life’s mission is to Honor the Mother—both our planetary mother and the mothers who nurture the rest of us. I believe that by caring holistically for a mother, she in turn can nurture her family, providing the safety and love children need to thrive.
Amid the COVID pandemic, I decided to elevate my career and offerings by pursuing my masters in Perinatal Social Work. This was driven by my desire to do more for families than my scope of practice as a doula allowed.
​
One of the greatest takeaways from my master’s program was learning how incredibly formative those first few years of life are. The most important thing for the emotional well-being of young children is a secure attachment to their primary caregiver. With this secure attachment, children will cope in healthier ways with trauma, build stronger relationships, and develop better overall health.
This revelation felt like a “well, duh” moment, but having it spelled out with studies and theories only fueled my passion for doula work even more.
Doulas—and birthworkers in general—care for the mother. We hold her through the intense, transformative experience of birth and support her during the tender postpartum period. Doulas provide education, resources, and support so that a mother can start off on the right foot, whether that means avoiding trauma from birth, getting support with breastfeeding, or taking a sacred recovery nap postpartum while someone else handles baby and dishes.
The role of a doula is ancient, yet cutting edge.
It’s this philosophy of compassionate, holistic support for mothers that fuels the mission of Wombs of the World. Our mission is to improve global maternal health outcomes by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers. Birthworkers nurture the mother, and—spoiler alert—the mother nurtures the entire world.
After that first trip to Tanzania, other doulas began reaching out to me on social media, asking how I did it. That’s when I realized others shared my passion and curiosity for babies, mothers, and travel—and Wombs of the World was born.
​
As the business evolves, I’m constantly learning, checking myself, and asking hard questions. My biggest objective is to do good, but there are so many double-edged swords to navigate—travel, tourism, globalization, white supremacy, capitalism - just to name a few. How can I spread evidence-based care without perpetuating medical colonization? How do I, as a white woman, create a safe space for birthworkers of all backgrounds to come together for an intense shared experience? How can I create content that helps rewrite the narrative around our profession? How can we learn from indigenous midwives without appropriating their teachings?
​
These are big, complex rabbit holes to venture down, and I often find myself getting lost. Thankfully, I have a team to guide me with light and wisdom.
​
But at the end of the day, I see the revolution unfolding.
​
For the first time ever, we have the technology and the means to communicate globally.
Culture is dynamic, but birth is the most universal thing there is.
We are all born.
Maternal health struggles are a global issue. Very few places on earth properly care for mothers or have systems that provide woman-centered birthing options and support, such as family leave and childcare.
​
It’s far more common for birth to be traumatizing, hyper-medicalized, and leave women literally damaged.
​
Yet women are resilient. Mothers give and give, sacrificing endlessly.
For millennia, we have put up with birth being treated as a punishment.
​
Whether you trace it back to Eve being “cursed” with childbirth or fast forward to the medicalization of birth in the 20th century, birth is something we’ve chosen to suffer through silently behind closed doors.
​
Girls around the world are taught to hide their periods, whether through tampon ads showing how discreet we can be or, in more extreme cases, girls being unable to attend school while menstruating. Globally, we perpetuate the punishment of womanhood.
​
​
At Wombs of the World, we are celebrating, honoring, and rediscovering birth.
​
We travel far to learn from women who hold the tools to honor mothers and support them during the perinatal period in ways we’ve long lost in the West.
​
All this to say—I am ready to offer my experience, teachings, and lessons to you.
​
Whether you are a doula seeking mentorship and support, a pregnant person looking to educate yourself, a couple navigating a major life transition, or someone drowning in grief and loss, I am here to support you.
