From the Ashes of Trauma to the Beauty of the Bloom: Why I Became a Doula 🌸
If you had told me years ago that I would find my calling in the birth room, I would have struggled to believe you. My own entry into motherhood wasn’t a peaceful "bloom"—it was a storm.
For a long time, I didn't have the words for it. I just knew that the way I was treated, the way my autonomy was stripped away, and the way I was left to navigate the "after" left me feeling shattered. I went into birth expecting a miracle and came out with trauma.
I realized then that while the medical system was efficient at monitoring my vitals, it was completely unequipped to protect my soul.
The Turning Point
Coming out of that darkness was a long journey of "sifting." I had to sift through the "what-ifs," the "why-mes," and the deep-seated anxiety that followed me home. But in that valley, I heard a quiet, persistent nudge from the Holy Spirit.
I realized that my trauma didn't have to be the end of my story—it could be the beginning of someone else's peace.
I looked at the birth landscape and saw so many brilliant, capable women—especially first-time mamas—walking into that same storm. I saw mamas being treated like "patients" instead of the God-designed leaders of their birth teams. I saw partners standing on the sidelines, feeling helpless.
I decided then: No more. Not on my watch.
The Birth of Little Flower
Little Flower Birth Services was born out of a desire to be the person I didn’t have. I became a Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator because I believe that even in a medical setting, your "Birth Bubble" should be a sanctuary.
I am here to ensure:
Your Voice is Heard: You are the authority in your birth room. I help you master the tools to advocate for yourself with grace and confidence.
Your Partner is a Hero: I equip your support person so they never have to feel the helplessness that so many fathers feel.
Your Heart is Anchored: We bridge the gap between evidence-based physiology and Christ-centered peace.
Redeeming the Story
Today, when I stand beside a mama in labor here in DFW, I’m not just there as a professional. I’m there as someone who knows the cost of a birth without support. I’m there to catch the mother while the doctors catch the baby.
My journey through trauma taught me that God can take the most broken soil and use it to grow the most beautiful things. If you are feeling anxious, unheard, or afraid of the "unknown," know that I see you. I’ve been there. And I am here to help you bloom.
"He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me..." — Psalm 23:3-4
Are you ready to move from fear to a protected, peaceful birth?
