Hi, I’m April!

I’m a Certified, Trauma-Informed Doula and Postpartum Educator, specializing in postpartum recovery, overnight newborn care, surrogacy, and end-of-life companion care. I'm an approved provider through Carrot Fertility, allowing eligible clients to utilize their benefits for postpartum support. My passion is serving others during life’s most vulnerable transitions—whether welcoming a new baby or providing comfort in a loved one’s final moments.

Though I was born and raised in Delaware, life has taken me on quite the adventure! I’ve had the privilege of living in eight different states across the East Coast, Midwest, and South, forming deep connections with incredible people along the way. Now, I’ve settled into my forever home in South Carolina, eager to build relationships in my local community.

I’m a proud mom of two grown children, a former foster mom to a sibling group of four, and “Mum” to three wonderful grandchildren. I share my home with my high school sweetheart of over 30 years and our sweet blind kitty, Minnie.

My journey into birth work began in the most unexpected way—by delivering my first grandchild at home! A few years later, I found myself delivering another grandchild… this time in the backseat of our car! (Yes, really!) Our wild story even made the news, landing us on ABC News, Tampa Bay Times, Good Morning America, and Daily Mail UK. You can check out my 15 minutes of fame below!

When I’m not supporting families, you’ll likely find me sipping coffee, adventuring with my grandkids, or seeking my next thrill—whether it’s ziplining through the Costa Rican rainforest, tubing in caves in Belize, snorkeling with manatees, or even swimming with sharks… uncaged!

As a pastor’s wife of 25 years, I believe in the power of service, love, and presence during life’s most tender moments. Whether you’re adjusting to life with a newborn or navigating the end-of-life journey, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, care, and a little bit of coffee.

If you're in Greenville, Greer, Anderson, Laurens, Simpsonville, Belton, Greenwood, Abbeville, or the surrounding Upstate SC areas, let’s connect. I’d love to chat over coffee and see how I can support you! ❤️
