ABOUT heidi

beginnings

Hi, I’m Heidi! I am a wife, mother, and doula, and I’m so glad you’re here. I discovered birth work after the birth of my second daughter in 2019, and it has been a deeply meaningful part of my life ever since. I love attending births and supporting mothers during labor and through the postpartum period. Birth is a sacred journey, and it’s an honor to witness.

I began focusing on postpartum work when I saw a real need in my community. While more and more mothers are recognizing the value of birth doulas, postpartum care is still often overlooked. Many mothers return home from the hospital with little support, relying only on what they learned in a class or book. We are seeing alarming levels of maternal dis-ease, and too often the solution is simply a prescription. Mothers need—and deserve—more. Their bodies and minds are wise, and they are sounding the alarm.

Before becoming a doula, I earned my degree in Art History with honors from Brigham Young University (2017). My study of early modern Christian art and Marian devotion first sparked my fascination with birth, maternity, and the Divine Feminine. When I gave birth to my first daughter I was filled with wonder. I left academics behind to follow a new path that led me here.

just for fun

In addition to birth and postpartum work and caring for my family, I also enjoy:

• Morning kundalini yoga and meditation

• Working with herbs and running my herbal business on Etsy

• All things intentional community and gathering with like-minded women

• Homeschooling, forest school meetups, and teaching part time at our Waldorf cottage school (I teach the littlest ones age 3-5)

• Singing the seasons with the Solringen Singers

• Reading good books

• Handwork—I love knitting and felting and all things linen and wool. I love collecting vintage embroideries and hanging them on my walls at home

• Cooking and learning new skills—feeding people is my love language!

• Spending time outdoors, especially in the mountains or by the shores of Utah Lake

It’s a privilege to move with the rhythms of the seasons and life itself. I hope you feel welcome in this space and that this gives you a sense of who I am. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story too.
