        When I think about the births of my 5 children, Shepherd, Olivia, Scarlet, Banner and Tempe, nothing but wonderful memories come to mind. I am so thankful for The Bradley Method® and how it enabled me and my husband to achieve a natural, drug free delivery with all of our children. I love sharing what I have learned on this amazing journey of pregnancy and birth. I bring much experience to my classes, due to the fact I have had a hospital birth with my first child, a birthing center birth with my second, and a home birth with my third and fourth. I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's nursing school in 2003 and practiced pediatric nursing at East Tennessee Children's Hospital for 9 years until I decided to become a full time stay at home mommy in 2012. I enjoy singing, being outdoors, crossfit, and traveling. I am also a certified doula and love being a part of the labor and birth process of my Bradley students. However, my first love is being a wife to my amazing husband and a mother to my wonderful, fun-loving children. My hope is to educate as many women as I can on the benefits of good nutrition during pregnancy and how to stay healthy and low risk in order to achieve the greatest, drug free birth possible.
