Mother
I guide mothers and families through the uncertain, exhilirating and sometimes chaotic journey of childbirth. I have traveled, trained and supported mothers internationally in pregnancy, through labor/birth, breastfeeding, postpartum. I use wisdom and compassion to offer support and therapies that nurture and honor the new mother from the prenatal through a supported postpartum.
Both of my children were born with midwives which was my introduction into birth work. After my first born, I immediately knew that this birth experience was A WHOLE “THING”. Within the next year I shared my story, supported mothers in my community and eventually completed a full spectrum doula training. Over the next 16 years I expanded my skills, created an amazing network of complimentary professionals to support more families. I also realized the breastfeeidng journey has a larger than life impact on the postpartum journey. Becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) adds the greatest pleasure and joy of nurturing and honoring women’s path of becoming a mother. We are perpetually in the becoming as our lives, children and bodies continue to transform us. I am here to walk with you on your journey of becoming, with grace, compassion and evidence backed techniques.
