I’ve always been the person to do everything myself. I even ended up giving birth by myself. (My midwife arrived as my husband was handing me our newborn daughter.) I used to cringe at the idea of asking for help. I thought my self-sufficiency, will power, and resilience were always enough, but becoming a Mother humbled me.. in the best way possible. I learned the hard way that something I viewed as a strength, actually left me feeling disempowered and alone. I am now driven to provide the support and love that I was not able to ask for.

Isolation and loneliness are real issues for new parents. There is a lack in our culture of knowledge being passed down from generation to generation and of community support. Women are not meant to take care of new babies and themselves all alone, despite the pressure to be do-it-all superwomen. We are superwomen, but as such, requires embracing the softness and vulnerability of accepting help. We are social beings that thrive on contact with others.

There is no substitute to having the supportive presence and care of someone who has walked this path before. A guide to help you find your own path during those first few weeks. Someone that you can lean on and be completely vulnerable with. To hold space for you without judgement or preconceived expectations as you embrace this new version of yourself that's emerging. Bringing a new life into the world isn't just about caring for your baby—it's also about nurturing your own personal growth.

While studying under the midwives of the Nourished Mother Doula Training program I received my certification. I have created a practice that is very unique to me and comes from my heart. I am proud to offer my approach to the postpartum period with those it resonates with.

The postpartum period is forever. While you are the portal for a new soul, a new you is also born. I would love to bring more beauty to this world and to lives, by providing nourishment and ceremony.
