I became interested in working with pregnant and new families while I was practicing massage therapy, I especially liked doing prenatal and postpartum massage. I'd always considered becoming a midwife, but wanted to start my own family first. A client of mine was a doula teacher, and it only seemed natural for me to become a doula.

I've been practicing as a birth and postpartum doula now since 2002. I like to focus my expertise to prenatal and postpartum services, so I also work as a Whole Birth prenatal yoga instructor, and a Birthing From Within childbirth mentor. I love to do art, especially on belly's, so I do belly casting and belly henna as well!
