I first became interested in the birthing journey after watching a documentary called The Business of Being Born during college. I was awestruck by the doulas and midwives’ unrelenting support, knowledge, and flexibility for the birthing persons — and just how powerful the labor and delivery was. But it wasn’t until the overturn of Roe v. Wade, continuing to limit our ability to make our own choices informed choices on our reproductive care, and the ongoing mistreatment and distrust toward Black, Brown and Indigenous women when it comes to our births and our bodies, that I realized I needed to deepen my advocacy. I want to help people not only reclaim agency over their bodies — but also reclaim their birth journeys.

​

I have a deep passion for supporting children and families through maneuvering mental health challenges, wellness, and normalizing mental health support. I have been trained in a variety of different techniques including: Child and Adult Mental Health First Aid, CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma informed care approaches. 

There's this quote that says, "While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” Children are the leaders of our next generation! Having worked in different settings as a School Social Worker, Behavior, Therapist, Teacher, and supporting in a nursery, I have learned and have been so grateful for the wisdom and relationships that I have fostered from the children that I have come across. I have spent many years working alongside children and their families while simultaneously learning and understanding their developmental milestones and own individual uniqueness. This is why I love birth work. Pregnancy and even preconception are truly the introduction to not only your own journey, but your baby's too!
