I’ve had one emergency cesarean, one planned cesarean, one VBA2C with an epidural and one VBA2C completely unmedicated. I’ve delivered in four different hospitals and I’ve interviewed countless providers looking for evidence based care. I am the kind of woman who does her research, and knows what she wants.
From 2012-2016, I was the chapter leader of ICAN of Phoenix. It was a tremendous opportunity to understand at a broader level what impact our high cesarean rate has on women. I co-led with another VBAC warrior, and we hosted monthly meetings to share stories, provide support and educate the community on VBAC rights and the value of avoiding unnecessary cesareans.
In 2016, I was trained and certified as a doula and started supporting births as a labor and delivery doula. That experience gave me valuable experience in the mechanics of birth and taught me a LOT about navigating the birth system. I remained specialized in supporting VBAC births and I was honored to serve hundreds of VBAC clients through support groups, community service and doula work since then.
In 2020, I opened VBAC Academy. I hope this can be your last stop for getting the education and support you need. Keep in touch!

VBAC is universal; and the fight to normalize birth after cesarean is a world-wide issue. VBAC Academy is located in the United States but frequently blends in guidance or news from other countries. Additionally, many studies and reviews posted include data from all over the world. We are all human and the impacts we're experiencing from too many cesareans and not enough vaginal births is felt by everyone.
