Hello! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Alex.
I offer faith-based doula services, childbirth education, birth trauma sessions, and lactation services in the Central Wisconsin Area and virtually all over the world. I am the creator of the fully online Self-Paced Childbirth Course.
I am a registered nurse with a bachelors of science in Nursing as as well as a bachelors of science in Health Care Administration and Business. I completed my nursing preceptorship in Labor and Delivery and worked as a Labor and Delivery and Postpartum nurse. I have also worked as a pediatric nurse and a pre and post-surgical nurse. I have training in Limited Obstetric Sonography, HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education, I am a Certified Lactation Counselor through ALPP, a Certified Doula through DONA, and am soon to be a Certified Healing Birth Trauma Practitioner.
I am an advocate for normalizing vaginal breech birth! Is your baby in a breech position? Were you told that a c-section is your only option? I would love to chat and go over your options with you. You may not need surgery.
I am passionate about teaching women about their bodies and how to advocate for themselves in pregnancy, birth, and with raising their children. I have been interested in pregnancy and birth since childhood. My triplet sisters were born at 28 weeks gestation and spent months in the NICU. I was five years old when they were born. My experience with having sisters in the NICU led me on a journey to become a nurse. I believe that birth is not a medical event, but rather a normal, natural, physiological process.
I have been married for 11 years to my husband, Tom. We have five children. I homeschool the oldest four. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, sewing, knitting, reading, running, playing ultimate frisbee, and exploring the outdoors.
I want to help you take the fear out of childbirth and have an informed and joyful birth experience!
