After having 6 natural home births of my own, I knew that I wanted to help other families have beautiful birth & postpartum experiences. I used Hypnobirthing methods for all of my own births. In 2011 I was trained as a (DONA international) Doula. Since then I was trained in Hypnobirthing methods, Belly binding, Abhyanga massage, natural doctoring, and other holistic practices. I have attended many different types of births, including hospital, home and birthing center births. I also offer virtual pregnancy and birth training and preparation. I Consult with you on birth and postpartum choices and how to be best prepared physically, emotionally, and mentally for your ideal birthing & postpartum experience.
