Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can bring so many emotions at once: excitement, uncertainty, hope, overwhelm, and the deep desire to feel prepared.
You deserve support that feels calm, personal, and reassuring. You deserve someone who will listen to your hopes, help you understand your options, support your partner, and remind you that you do not have to walk through this season alone.
Lark’s Nest Doula was created to offer families in Southern Utah steady, compassionate care through pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and nourishment.
Whether you are preparing for your first birth, hoping for a more supported experience this time, navigating Medicaid-covered doula care, or wondering how you’ll rest and recover after baby arrives, I’m here to help you feel held, informed, and cared for.

I’m the owner of Lark’s Nest Doula Services and a labor doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and professionally trained chef serving families throughout Southern Utah.
My work is rooted in one simple belief: families were never meant to do this alone.
I know how tender this season can be. I have personally walked through infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the experience of growing a family far from the support system I wished I had nearby. That experience shaped the way I care for families now—with empathy, patience, and a deep respect for how personal each birth and postpartum journey truly is.
My goal is not to tell you what kind of birth to have or what kind of parent to be. My role is to help you feel more prepared, more confident, and more supported in the choices that matter to you.

Every family is different. Some families need help preparing for labor. Some need a calm presence in the birth room. Some need reassurance in the early newborn days. Some need overnight support, warm meals, or simply someone who can step in and say,
“You rest. I’ve got this.”
My care is personalized to your needs, your values, your home, your baby, and your recovery.
As your doula, I offer emotional support, physical comfort measures, evidence-based information, birth planning, partner support, postpartum care, newborn guidance, and practical help during one of the biggest transitions of your life.
As a chef, I also bring a heart for nourishment into my postpartum work. I believe recovery is supported not only by rest and emotional care, but also by warm, healing meals that make it easier for families to slow down, recover, and feel cared for.

A nest is a place of safety, warmth, preparation, and care.
That is the heart behind Lark’s Nest Doula.
My hope is to help you build your own nest—a space where you feel supported, nourished, respected, and ready to welcome your baby in a way that feels grounded and personal to your family.
The lark represents new beginnings, hope, and the quiet strength it takes to enter a new season. Whether you are preparing for birth, healing postpartum, or learning life with a newborn, my goal is to bring steady support into that transition.
I bring both professional training and lived experience into my work with families.
My background includes:
This training allows me to support families with evidence-based education, hands-on comfort measures, postpartum care, newborn support, and nourishing meal preparation.
When we work together, you can expect care that is warm, steady, and nonjudgmental.
You will have space to ask questions, process your hopes and fears, prepare your partner, understand your options, and make decisions that feel right for your family.
I will support you with practical tools, emotional reassurance, and calm presence—not pressure, fear, or one-size-fits-all advice.
My goal is for you to feel more confident, more nourished, and less alone.

A doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I help you feel informed, supported, and confident while working alongside your medical team.
Yes. I am a Utah Medicaid-enrolled doula and accept eligible Medicaid clients for covered doula services.
Yes, a doula supports both you and your support people. I can help your partner feel more confident, offer comfort techniques, suggest ways they can be involved, and provide steady support throughout labor and postpartum.
No. A doula does not provide medical care, diagnose conditions, perform clinical tasks, or make decisions for you. Your medical team is responsible for your clinical care. My role is to provide education, comfort, emotional support, and advocacy as you navigate your options.
You can reach out at any point in pregnancy, but many families choose to book during the second or early third trimester. This gives us time to connect, prepare for birth, and talk through your preferences before baby arrives.
I support families throughout Southern Utah, including Cedar City, Enoch, St. George, and surrounding communities.
Birth doula support may include prenatal preparation, birth education, comfort measures, emotional reassurance, partner support, help creating birth preferences, continuous labor support, and early postpartum support after baby arrives.

Yes. I can help you explore your options and create birth preferences that reflect your values, needs, and goals. I also help you think through how to communicate those preferences with your birth team.
You can absolutely still benefit from doula support. Doulas support all kinds of births, including medicated births, inductions, planned cesareans, hospital births, birth center births, and home births.
The first step is to schedule a free consultation. We’ll talk about your needs, your due date, your hopes for support, and whether Lark’s Nest Doula feels like the right fit for your family.
