My journey to this point began over 20 years ago when I became a certified massage therapist, an infant massage instructor, and a Reiki master. I have enjoyed working with a wide range of clients, but I have to say my favorite type of work was always prenatal and postpartum massage. While working with expectant mothers, it was magical to feel the baby move and react to the things I was doing to help Mom. I retired from massage work in 2022 and becoming a doula was my new beginning.

I trained to become a birth doula through The Matrona Foundation. Their philosophy resonated with me, providing an environment that invites others to witness the birth, rather than manage it, empowering the family to have the birth that they desire. I have also furthered my training in Spinning Babies^® Birth Skills.

My Postpartum Doula training was through DONA International.
