Alicia has been a lover of babies and birth all her life. She comes from a family of seven children so her exposure to babies and children began early.  She held her first baby at age 21 months (her younger sister) and hasn’t let up since.   And it’s rather telling that her favorite book as a child was, Where Do Babies Come From?

​

All three of her children were born at home, with the support of midwives and doulas, and her births changed her life. In 2013, Alicia decided to convert her love of babies and birth into the fantastic, dynamic, magical work of birth and postpartum, and.....BORN was born!  Since then she has been honored to attend nearly 300 births, as well as serving over 100 families in the time after baby’s birth as a postpartum doula, sleep coach, and potty trainer.

​

Watching parents learn and grow, and achieve as they move through their birth, and postpartum is what feeds Alicia's soul.  She wholeheartedly believes in women's innate power, she knows that birth can be trusted, and she deeply values the role that dads and partners play.  Again and again, Alicia has seen that when a woman is equipped with an excellent education, dogged determination, and serene support, that woman can do ANYTHING! 

​

Alicia considers herself blessed to be married to Shane, who she calls, "the most patient man in the world."  He is the peanut butter to her chocolate and makes her world go round. Together they are raising a crew of kids they adore--- Sage, Micah, and Haven. 

 

Alicia loves British period dramas, tasty food, thrifting, turning her music up loud, playing the piano, and hiking with her family.  In quiet moments you'll find her curled up with a book and a cup of tea.
