Welcome
...to a natural view of birth

The birth of your child is a very special day in your life. You will look back and remember the smallest of details.

The experience has the ability to empower and transform you!

Although giving birth is completely normal and natural, we have lost something innate in this highly technological world of ours. Too many women are robbed of a beautiful and empowering experience simply because they have left their decisions to the "experts".

Pregnancy and birth is a journey in which each woman must find her OWN way.

Exploring your options & gathering information is the first step in having the birth experience that is right for YOU.

It is time to put the JOY back into birth... time to trust our bodies and honor our own wisdom. As women we KNOW how to do this: we must find our peace while keeping our passion.

As a doula, childbirth educator, artist and facilitator, I can be a resource for information, the listening ear of support, the healing hands of comfort, and the shining voice of hope & reason for you.

Whether it is finding a yoga class, a birth ball or a diapering service... or whether it means accompanying you to a doctor's appointment, rubbing your back during labor, explaining a complex medical procedure or just listening and supporting you through it all... let me help guide you through the mysteries of pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.

I promise it will be the journey of a lifetime!
