Hi! My name is Heidi and I have been a doula for almost 4 years. I am certified through DONA, and I am also pursuing my Childbirth Education Certification. I decided to pursue becoming a Doula after helping my sister with the birth of her first two children and also attending the births of a few of my friends. After being a part of those births, I realized that I want women to feel empowered and knowledgeable to have the birth experience they desire. My goal as a Doula is to make sure you have the education, resources and support during your pregnancy and birth to have that birth experience that you have dreamed of-and can remember with joy.
I love living in St. Paul with my husband of two years, and spending as much time with him outside as I can. When I am not working as a doula, you can find me serving brides on their wedding day by doing their hair and makeup! My business, 139 Hair by Heidi, keeps me running around town every weekend. I am so pleased to be a part of the A Woman's Design birth doula team! I am looking forward to meeting you!
