Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Megan! I'm a birth and postpartum doula, a proud mother of three, and the founder of Pneuma Bloom, serving families throughout Humboldt County, California. Supporting families through the powerful thresholds of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood is truly my calling.

Originally from Ohio, I always carried a deep knowing that life would eventually lead me elsewhere. In my early twenties, I made the leap to California, seeking community and connection with people who shared my curiosity about healing, embodiment, and the deeper transitions of life. My early work began in the world of women's embodiment and yoga, after completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training, I felt drawn to supporting women through powerful life thresholds, offering feminine yoga classes and crystal healing sessions for those seeking deeper connection with themselves.

At that time, I also carried a quiet longing to become a mother. Pregnancy fascinated me, especially the profound metamorphosis a woman's body, mind, and spirit undergo while creating life. When I discovered I was pregnant with my first child, everything shifted, and my pregnancy became an initiation. I immersed myself in learning about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, exploring practices like Hypnobirthing, meditation, and mindful movement while documenting my journey one growing belly photo at a time. Motherhood deepened my understanding of the transformation families move through, and after the births of my children, I felt called to support other women as they moved through these same thresholds.

Today, as a trained doula and mother of three, I support families across Humboldt County through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. My approach blends practical support, emotional grounding, and intuitive care to help families feel informed, supported, and deeply held during one of the most powerful transitions of their lives. Through Pneuma Bloom, my intention is simple: to walk beside mothers and families during the sacred unfolding of birth and early parenthood, helping you feel seen, empowered, and capable every step of the way.
