Hello!

I am Lindsey. I have been married since 2010 and live in the wonderful city of Athens, Ga. My husband and I got married while still in school and it has been the most wonderful thing to learn together, grow together, and discover our passions right alongside of each other. We have 2 beautiful boys and a sweet angel baby. I grew up with two sisters, so I have had to quickly learn the basics of raising boys and still have a long way to go! They challenge, teach, and stretch me in so many ways! I love coffee, books, rainy days, and I will never give up writing the old school way {with pens and paper}!

My journey to birth work

The lifespan of individuals has always held my interest. While I was at the University of Georgia, I studied child and family development. During my time there I started to feel a shift in my end goals and transferred to Tennessee Temple University in order to pursue a degree in Counseling. I graduated with that degree, fully intending to continue onto graduate school for professional counseling. Shortly after, I got pregnant with our first son. I knew I wanted to stay home when we started having babies, so that's what I did. In all honesty though, I still felt a part of me was yet to be discovered. As I began to process my birth experience I stumbled upon the world of doulas. I attended my training and started attending births shortly after. It quickly became clear that it was no coincidence that this work found me. The same strengths and unique set of skills that inspired me to get a degree in counseling are also absolutely necessary to do the work that doulas do. I am so grateful to the birthing people that allow me to be a part of their journeys. 

As my desire to serve birthing people deepened, I found doula work leading me towards midwifery. As of October 2022 I completed my requirements and passed the boards to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM).

While I am focusing on serving clients in the role of midwife, you might be able to coax me out to be your doula if you are a repeat client ;)

Why Birth?

Pregnancy and birth stir my heart in a way that not very many things do. The miracle of it, the deeply sacred time that it is, and the body's ability to carry out these processes ignite a passion and calling in me. Birthing people deserve to be empowered and supported through education and encouragement, so that they can make decisions that will benefit them, their babies, and their families.
