ABOUT SOPHIA
While volunteering at a local pregnancy care center my freshman year of college, I picked up a business card for a midwife, and the rest is history. I fell in love with the mysterious and incredible world of birth with a strong intuition that God was leading me to be a midwife.
Although Iām not (yet!) a midwife, I believe I am called to serve women and families as a doula and childbirth educator while I grow my own family!
My PASSION is educating women on their bodyās physiologic design for birth and helping them navigate the challenges of our over-medicalized system.
I moved to the Inland Northwest in 2024 and am so excited to make it my home! When Iām not nerding out about birth, womenās health, or the history of midwifery, I love journaling, embroidery, hiking, and going to coffee shops (fun fact: I worked as a barista for two years!)
I believe that children are a blessing from God and dream of having a big family one day (Psalm 127:3)!
In a world that has become increasingly polarized, I want to encourage families that wherever and however they choose to give birth, they deserve to feel PEACEFUL, PREPARED, & CONFIDENT.
Before I am a doula, I am a wife and mama!
Iāve been married to my best friend since 2024 and we welcomed our first baby - a little boy! - at home in 2025! I love being a SAHM while also getting the chance to serve women both in my community and online.

My Birth Beliefs
Beyond my education and training, I believe itās important to be share the beliefs that guide my birth philosophy:
I believe that God beautifully & purposefully designed birth
I affirm the sanctity of life & that all people are created in the image of God
I believe that birth is a physical, emotional, & spiritual event
I affirm that birth is a transformative experience in the life of the mother & family
I believe that birth is physiological, meaning that the birth hormones and bodily processes play a critical role in supporting versus hindering labor progress
I believe birth can safely take place in homes, birth centers, & hospitals
I believe that birth involves both trust and surrender
I believe that women deserve to feel respected, heard, & supported
I affirm that birth is not a medical event, but there are situations where receiving medical interventions is the best course of action for comfort, desire, &/or necessity
I believe that the Holy Spirit guides our intuition & serves as a guide to decision-making in labor and birth
I believe in the personal responsibility of parents to put their journey into parenthood into their own hands, which includes choosing their birth team, location, & preparation
I believe that while birth does not always go to plan, the process of preparing for birth is a necessary & integral part of the journey to motherhood
I believe that motherhood has eternal significance
