About me
I am a doula and a yoga practitioner in Frisco and the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex, and I have a Masters of Arts in Physical Activity and Health from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. I speak German and English. I have lived, studied and worked in three different countries and international life is my normal. I like to say that I was born in Canada, I grew up in Germany, and now, I am raising my own family in Frisco, Texas. Mothering With Grace is focused on empowering women to have a positive experience in pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond into motherhood. When a woman has agency, feels supported, can get what she needs (without being made to feel like a burden) and she is respected by the people accompanying her from pregnancy through to postpartum and beyond, she is much more likely to have a positive experience.

Service introduction
Mothering with Grace is focused on maternal health and wellness from pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond into motherhood. This means getting the emotional and the physical support for your journey through motherhood but also equipping yourself with information and resources to make informed decisions that are best for your baby AND for you. This is mothering the mother. This is Mothering With Grace. In my role as a doula, I am a non-medical professional that guides women with emotional and physical support, as well as information and resources through pregnancy, birth and postpartum to empower them to have a positive experience. As a yoga practitioner, I specialize in prenatal and postnatal yoga to nurture your mind, body and spirit.
