My winding path to becoming a Doula and prenatal yoga instructor started in college where I studied Kinesiology and worked as a personal trainer. After college I continued my education of the body at Equinox Fitness Academy. A geeky fascination with the physical body led me to grow more curious about the mind and the spirit, inspiring me to travel to Bali to complete my Yoga Teacher Training with Zuna Yoga. Curious and inspired, I continued to expand my understanding of the human condition, studying under Oprah’s very own spiritual mentor and life coach, Martha Beck, to become an intuitive life + wellness coach. On the pursuit of pulling all of the pieces of my trainings together, the universe planted a little seed of realization that childbirth is the ultimate expression of the human body, mind and spirit; with this realization, it felt like everything clicked into place. A spark went off and a passionate fire was kindled. The Doula really is the missing link in the birthing experience - an adjunct to the medical model that can fill in all the gaps by educating and guiding new mothers through all aspects of the vulnerable, uncertain, and beautiful transition into motherhood. As that missing link, I am here for you to assist with conscious birth preparation and provide holistic support throughout.

After witnessing my first birth at the age of 18, I have always been fascinated by the raw power of a laboring body. However, life is not linear and hardly ever goes as you plan. The following year I had my first baby and struggled with being 19 and raising a baby. I was lost, had no clue how to make the important, proper decisions while doing it mostly on my own. My parents were a wonderful support system, helping me to navigate the research. I never took for granted the support and help that I had, I know many do not have that support. 5 years later I studied massage therapy and fell in love with prenatal massage. How beautiful a gift to be able to help ease the ever changing pregnant body. Many years later, I found the way to tie these two passions by becoming a doula and receiving a partial scholarship to Bebo Mia gave me the push I needed. My mission is to help guide families from conception to postpartum and breastfeeding with a nonbiased, research backed approach.
