Local and International Birth & Postpartum Doula
I AM HERE TO SERVE YOU, YOUR CHILD AND THE SACRED ENERGY OF BIRTH
Whether it is your first, second, third, fourth or eighth pregnancy, expecting multiples or a singleton, in a breech presentation or in the optimal birth position, a physiological labor and birth, a necessary c-section or a vaginal birth after cesarean, you deserve a birthing experience that is intimately connected to your own inner wisdom and that of your baby or babies. I work to facilitate a deeply nurturing space; one which gives you the support necessary to ensure a sacred and connected birth experience.

I would be honored to assist you, contact me to disccuss how I can best support you and your baby.
Birth is sacred. Birth is a rite of passage. Birth is different for every woman and baby. Birth is beautiful because it is messy, raw, and intense. Birth is a journey into the mystery, into the spaces of your primodial self.

Feel supported by a calming, stable presence in the beautiful experience of giving birth.
Love, it comes as the spaciousness
within every surge
as the moans of vitality
when the limit is reached
…and then shattered
Love, it comes as the push in labor
before life is born
the ecstasy of letting go
as creation takes over
as the mother of all mothers
is birthed anew
Love, it comes as relief
as warm hands on sweaty skin
stroking up and down
gently, tenderly, slowly
it comes as reassurance and knowing
Love, it comes as the tears
and the wide open smiles
of hopeful beginnings
It comes as the blessed scent of amniotic fluid
trickling down tired and peaceful bodies
it comes as innocence
and as the gaze of small wrinkled eyes
looking at the world
for the first time
Love, it comes as the sweet
dense creamy milk
from mothers breast
and as every suckle
from small tender lips
Love, it comes as first gestures
and first words and little steps
approaching life
it also comes
as the wobble and the bump
as we learn to navigate life
and then Love, it comes
as the comforting presence of a woman
seeing us through our journey.
