Welcome! Iā€™m Abby.

Hi! My goal as a birth worker is to support, inform, and empower any family who is seeking to be an active participant in their birth. I became a birth doula in 2016, in 2017 I became a postpartum doula, and in 2018 I became a childbirth educator. I am thankful for my time as a birth worker before I had three kids of my own, but I am eternally grateful for the life-changing experience of pregnancy and postpartum.

The unknowns of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can be very daunting and overwhelming. I want to make families feel comfortable during birth and postpartum. There is no one way to prepare for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. For me, preparing meant learning how my body was created and meant to birth. I wanted as much information as possible; it made me feel empowered and made me desire to honor my body and my baby.

My husband, children, and I moved to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in January 2021 to be closer to family. We love the community and are happy to make roots here. In addition to teaching classes and being a doula, I assist two local midwives who have two birth centers and attend homebirth as well. My aspiration is to become an out-of-hospital midwife in the future.

My job as a birth worker is to support and love on the families I am so blessed to work with - if you want more information on how I can help you achieve your birth and postpartum goals please reach out.

My husband, Eric, and our three boys, Henry, Teddy, and Joseph.
