I am a DONA trained Doula, and a Childbirth Educator on my path to midwifery school. I am a certified massage therapist, trained in somatic movement therapy, developmental movement therapy, certified in radical counseling and have been a dancer, dance teacher for the past 22 years. I bring all this knowledge of the body and emotional process, to support mothers and their families on their journey through the birth process and parenting.
In 2013 I attended Elizabeth Davis's Heart and Hands beginning midwifery intensive, which was my first step on the road towards midwifery. This course and the teaching of Elizabeth not only gifted me with deeper understanding and more comprehensive knowledge about birth, but has given me a doula certification as well. I am proud to hold this certification. If you are interested in her work I highly recommend her book and documentary: Orgasmic birth.
In 2014 I became a Certified Rebozo Instructor by Gena Kirby and I am exited to offer my new Embodied Birth classes that integrates and synthesizes all the knowledge I have acquired in the last 15 years about how to be in the body, embody the mind, and trust the inner process.
In 2018 I became a Certified Spinning Babies Parent Educator and now I offer group and private classes to teach the tools for greater comfort and ease in pregnancy and labor.
