Welcome,

I support Washington DC and the following Maryland Counties: Prince George’s, Charles, Anne Arundel and Montgomery. In Northern Virginia the cities of Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax.

Hello, my name is Payton.

I am a birth doula, prenatal yoga teacher, and mama currently residing in Miami, Florida.

I discovered my love for yoga over a decade ago and immediately knew I wanted to share the healing power of this ancient wisdom with others. My passion for birth work came much later, in 2020 when I was pregnant with my son. You can read all about my birth story on my blog, but suffice it to say here, it was a traumatic one that ultimately ended in an unplanned cesarean. After this experience, I continued teaching yoga, but found that the only topic I wanted to teach on, write about, or share with anyone was childbirth. It became something so fundamentally important to me that I knew it was my calling. While I am eager to support all birthing people, I am especially interested in helping people like me- who have had traumatic birth experiences and need the extra support to process and have a healing experience the next time around, especially those choosing VBAC and home birth.

My personal mission is to empower birthing people to have the pregnancy and birth experience they want, release preconceptions and fears, and gain confidence in their innate abilities.

Virginia has been offering compassionate, creative, trauma-informed care, support, and education to families and perinatal professionals for over 20 years. She is a Certified Birthing From Within (BFW) Childbirth Educator and Doula, and, for more than 10 years, facilitated BFW trainings and programs for doulas, midwives, educators, and other birth workers. Whether giving a keynote address to hundreds of midwives, facilitating online courses, or guiding a healing session to a mother recovering from a difficult birth, Virginia's experience, warmth, authenticity, and wisdom shine through. She specializes in powerful approaches to childbirth preparation and post-traumatic growth and healing.

Virginia currently lives, works, and creates at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, supporting families and perinatal professionals throughout Nevada and California, as well as globally. She is available (in-person and online) as an event speaker, a consultant to birth professionals who want to process births they have witnessed, and to parents who experience difficult births and are looking for healing and growth.
