The homebirth of my daughter was a transformational point in my life in so many ways. It set me on a path of self-healing and inspired me to offer wholistic support to women/babies/families during the childbearing year. I have immersed myself in studies about women’s health and wellness, focusing on pre-conception, pregnancy, birth & postpartum for the last 16 years and have been attending births full-time since 2007.

In my free time I practice yoga and love takings walks & hikes in the many beautiful regional parks we are blessed with in the bay area. I am a healthy foods enthusiast and enjoy playing in the kitchen & shopping at the local farmers markets. I love all kinds of music, especially kirtan. Good books are an essential ingredient in my life. I live with my partner, daughter & 2 feline friends in the east bay.
I am certified as a doula through Heart & Hands Midwifery Intensive with midwife and author Elizabeth Davis. I am also in training as a Conscious Birth Emissary and am a Sacred Birth Mentor. I continued to be deeply informed by Pam Enland and Birthing From Within.
In addition to birthwork I am an intuitive healer using Reiki & ThetaHealing. I have been preparing placenta medicine since 2008 and have worked with over 100 beautiful placentas to date. I have a strong foundation in both nutrition and herbal studies.
