I support women in beginning to find deeper peace and new meaning in their birth experiences through my Birth Story Processing Sessions, as well as helping women understand their fears in my Working With Your Birth Fears Sessions. My birth education weaves learning about the brilliance of physiology along with deeper heart- and soul-level birth preparation.
I bring to the heart of my offerings my years of lived experience and deep study tending the interconnected realms of the birth, creativity, healing, and the body. My approach blends somatics, art, and archetypal work with practical preparation and processing techniques. I'm especially passionate about supporting women in finding their own path to healing through their birth journeys.

My own journey through pregnancy and birth and into motherhood revealed to me the power of this rite of passage. I now walk with women as they face their fears, process their own birth experiences, and meet themselves anew in motherhood, with all its challenges and gifts.
I like to say that I seek to work from the Heart of Birth. Whether I'm teaching about the amazing hormonal matrix of birth, unpacking fears around birth with a mother-to-be, or holding space for a new mother's story inside a birth story processing session, I strive to maintain this connection to the heart of it all—her story, her journey, her connections to her baby and herself and her family, to the divine. Alongside that, I bring a sensitivity and awareness of somatics, archetypal work, and the invitations that creativity can offer into my work.
