I am married to my wonderful husband Brennen. We have two fur babies, Cocoa and Winston!

What was your journey to become a doula?

My path to becoming a Doula had twists and turns just like everything in this life, but what better way to learn to be flexible and go with the flow. It started when I was a senior in high school. I knew I wanted to work with expectant parents and of course the babies! After researching careers, I decided to go to school to be an ultrasound technician and then that would mean I get to take the exciting pictures of the babies that expectant parents look forward to. After starting school, I decided there had to be more! That is when I researched doulas and completed my first labor doula training with DONA. While working towards certification, I also decided to finish schooling and obtain a degree in business administration! Shortly after graduating from school, I came across the ProDoula company and found it to be a perfect fit for me. I completed my training with them and am now a Certified ProDoula Labor and Postpartum doula!

3 words that describe you

The three words that best describe me are organized, patient and compassionate.

Haley’s words of wisdom:

I believe that birth is a very intimate experience and that every expectant parent should be supported and treated with respect and compassion. No one knows how your body is feeling better than you do! A birthing parent should have the right to make their own informed decisions with no judgement from those around them.

“Haley is one of the most reliable people that I know. If you call her, she will be there!

What’s your favorite show?

My favorite T.V. show is Grey’s Anatomy, yes I have watched the whole series four times!

“Haley has a nurturing touch.”

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why? 

If I could have any superpower, I would choose to have telepathy. I would choose this power because it would allow me to better help people without even needing sensory channels. This would be really neat in my role as a Doula because I would be able to hear what a birthing parent needs without them being expected to say a word.

“Haley’s soft voice brought a calmness to the room.”

Who is your role model?

My role model is my Pastor’s wife because she is the most genuine person that I know. She has the biggest heart and truly wants to help others through their most difficult situations. I strive to be just like her!
