About me

I'm passionate about supporting women and couples in giving birth not only to their families, but to their most embodied, empowered selves and to lives they love. I provide support throughout the childbearing year including pre-conception and fertility coaching, counseling for pregnancy release of all kinds (miscarriage, stillbirth, termination and fetal anomaly), holistic preparation for birth, ‘baby-proofing’ your relationship or marriage and postpartum recovery support. I have extensive experience supporting clients with a history of trauma (including developmental, sexual and birth-related trauma), eating disorders and body image issues, fertility challenges and prior loss. I emphasize the mind-body connection and offer a holistic approach including physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of care. I completed my doula training with acclaimed trainer Judy Chapman in 2009, in her last class of doulas before she retired and closed the renown Chapman Family Center. I'm a graduate of UC Berkeley and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
