Skylar says “I have always carried a unique passion for the birthing process. The progression and beauty is both intriguing and inspiring to me. I have been inspired to pursue a career in professional birth support for years. Growing up, I vividly recall lying on my parents’ closet floor and reading through my mom’s birthing books. I found myself watching reruns of “One Born Every Minute” and developing such a fascination for birth. This was further solidified after my first pregnancy. I became a young mom and sought out the support of a doula for myself. While I had some minor complications throughout my pregnancy, the support and stability of my doula was exactly what I needed to execute the beautiful birth I hoped and planned for. That is where my passion deepened to help provide what I believe every mother deserves-to be heard, validated and unconditionally loved through those intimate birthing moments and beyond.”
