Haley is a pediatric nurse and a professionally trained labor and postpartum doula. She owns her own business, Vermont Doula Company, and coordinates the Volunteer Labor Doula Program at The University of Vermont Medical Center.

Haley grew up in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom and now resides in Grand Isle, VT. She lives with her husband, two kids, two cats, and a dog. For day-to-day sanity and survival, she listens to endless podcasts and audiobooks and constantly re-organizes her home. She and her family enjoy camping, boating, and a yearly travel adventure to somewhere warm.
