My story (tl;dr)

My first daughter was born with what was likely ‘normal’, though personally unsupportive, circumstances. I felt alone in labor, ill-equipped, and as though I was mentally and physically drowning. Grateful for a perfectly healthy and beautiful baby girl, I knew there had to be a different way for me to experience.

So when I became pregnant with my second, I dove into learning about birth. I prepared myself, knowing that I was responsible for having the kind of experience I wished to have. I read, readied, and called in resources, including a doula. I softened into a trust and power within. And I had a beautiful labor - feeling empowered, at one with myself and nature's flow. And so began the pings of a calling.

As an avid, forever-learner, on top of my own call to healing, I have fallen in love with anything that allows us to connect back to our own infinite wisdom and that of nature, leading me to study feminine-form Ayurveda. Combining the wisdom of divine feminine medicine and birthwork, I wish to provide support to women wherever they are on their journey - including from preconception to the infinite postpartum - in connecting with their own infinite wisdom as they prepare for, become, and be mothers (whether it be to a child or to themselves). I further wish to earn a place where I can support women who are especially vulnerable to implicit biases in the health care system, and am currently an active member of Colorado Volunteer Doulas whose emphasis is on reproductive justice. 

I believe so much in the potential that supported, nourished, and connected mothers create and hold space for supported, nourished, and connected babies/children/humans who through the foundation of this love, acceptance and connection will shift the narrative of our future (a lofty concept, I know!).
