Renee is a rare Nashville native and one of four siblings. From a young age, you could always find her holding a baby — she’s always been a natural nurturer and helper. She’s had an affinity for birth as long as she can remember and loved watching birth shows growing up.

Her passion for caring for children and families started early: she was a preschool teacher, nanny, and even a piano teacher while still in high school. She originally planned to become a nurse and started college with that goal, but her path shifted after studying abroad and gaining new life experiences that broadened her perspective.

After marrying her best friend and starting her own family, Renee began learning more deeply about birth. She knew right away she wanted the support of a doula — and after experiencing her first birth with a doula by her side, she felt a strong calling to one day provide that same support to other women.

With each of her own birth experiences, Renee gained a deeper understanding of the incredible process women go through during pregnancy and labor. In 2015, she earned her barre certification and continued teaching piano to children of all ages. Her experience encouraging women to move their bodies and build strength gave her insight into how mental and physical tenacity contribute to a healthy pregnancy and birth.

Renee went on to complete her doula training and certification and quickly became immersed in all things birth. Her heart for women is rooted in helping them feel held, supported, and empowered — no matter their goals. She believes birth is not only about welcoming a new baby but about the profound transformation each mother experiences: it’s beautiful, it’s hard, and it’s the best work a woman will ever do.

When she’s not supporting families through pregnancy and birth, Renee loves taking yoga and barre classes, spending time outdoors with her four kids, and making memories with her husband.
