Afterbirth Restorative Therapist

Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)

Birth/Postpartum Doula

Childbirth Educator

Mother

I guide mothers and families through the uncertain, exhilirating and sometimes chaotic journey of childbirth. I have traveled, trained and supported mothers internationally in pregnancy, through labor/birth, breastfeeding, postpartum, as well as via my signature Womb Restorative Therapy Methods. I use this wisdom, compassion and skills to offer therapies that nurture and honor the new mother from the prenatal through a supported postpartum.

Both of my children were born with midwives which was my introduction into birth work. After my first born, I immediately knew that this birth experience was A THING. Within the next year I shared my story, supported mothers in my community and eventually completed a full spectrum doula training. Over the next 16 years I expanded my skills, created an amazing network of complimentary professionals to support more families. I also realized the breastfeeidng journey has a larger than life impact on the postpartum journey. Becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) adds to the greatest pleasure and joy of nurturing and honoring women’s path of becoming a mother. This unique journey is called Matrscence.
