About me

I am a birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, Body Ready Method Pro and hypnobirthing instructor in the Philadelphia suburbs. I've lived and parented on 4 continents which has allowed me to search the world for the best options for my clients. Helping clients tune into their intuition so they can make confident decisions is my greatest joy. There are many factors we can't control, but skills-based preparation is always helpful, especially when circumstances change. Prepare your mind, body and life for birth and postpartum.
