I have a passion for helping families.

My passion is supporting births, coaching parents on all things “baby” and also using my experience as a birth trauma coach, shaman, and Reiki master to guide you through fertility challenges, losses, past traumatic birth experiences and to help you release fear before birth.

I enjoy partnering with parents to learn their baby’s personality, cues, and more. We get to know each other as I learn about your lifestyle and goals as parents of a new baby. Together we create a sleep schedule that works with your lifestyle as well as your baby’s needs. Our work together ultimately leads to sleep training. Doula for life!

As a mom of three, I know what it’s like to come home with a new baby and feel like my partner and I are at the center of a storm.  I felt completely unprepared for my first baby.  Picture the baby in “The Incredibles” movie and the reaction of the babysitter to the new baby with special (and scary) powers - yes, it felt like that during the first few months of new parenthood.  The exhaustion was overwhelming and I was at my wits end. Over time, I learned so much, but breastfeeding and sleep scheduling and training was the most challenging with my first. With my second I had many fertility challenges. If only I’d had a doula!

Over the past 25 years I have enjoyed supporting families in the role of sleep coach, family mediator, baby and early childhood educator, birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, shaman and integrated functional medicine and nutrition coach.  With my  cumulative expertise I can lead you through the maze of fertility challenges, release of trauma and fear, guiding you through birth and into the postpartum. I’ll help you get your footing as a new parent!
