Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

I started Blessed Beginnings Doula Care upon receiving my birth doula certification from DONA International in 2015. From a very young age, I have been fascinated with the various aspects of labor, birth and beyond. Birth itself is such an intimate and beautiful process in life, and becoming a doula has given me the opportunity to assist families in the blessed beginnings of their children. Throughout my work as a doula, my goal is to provide compassionate care, physical and emotional support, and overall encouragement to the laboring woman. I am continually honored to support families throughout El Dorado County and the surrounding region.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

When I was 16, I began my first official job working at a family practice doctor’s office, where I am still currently employed. I’m blessed to work with an amazing doctor and learn from the medical staff around me. My experiences there have taught me the value of compassionate, patient-centered care, which I hope to implement in my own interactions with clients. 

What’s your biggest job perk?

My biggest “job perk” is that I have the blessed opportunity to assist families in welcoming new life. My role as a doula has completely changed my perspective on the sanctity of life—it is truly a remarkable miracle!

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Heyday Café. They have the most amazing food options, and the environment is quaint and cozy. 

 And finally, customer service is…?

A listening ear and an empathic heart, to truly understand and respect one another’s requests.
