At the root of all of my work is a calling to nurture and support growing life. This calling takes a myriad of shapes as I serve women through the healing arts in birth preparation, postpartum care and lactation counseling, somatic facilitation, and ceremony. In my relationships and in my work, I am interested in engaging and telling the truest stories possible, asking the recurring question, “How does it feel to be alive?”- making room for the full spectrum of emotions to be exposed and expressed. I am grateful and honored to hold the roles of daughter, sister, friend, auntie, birthworker, and forever learning to humbly hold space as healer. My life and my practice are influenced by devotion to the Divine Feminine, midwifery models of care, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, prenatal and perinatal Psychology, and dynamics of intergenerational healing. I receive so much life-force from the many storytellers, artists, dancers, and musicians that dare to awaken something within themselves and share it with others. (I wish you could hear the soundtrack loudly playing while I am writing this!) The devotional practices that sustain me are dance, yoga/breathwork, nourishment through traditional foods, Cacao Dietas, sweating in the sauna, walking with the trees, and swimming in the ocean. My work is ever-unfolding (as I am, as you are…) and I look forward to what is to be exchanged as we find each other along this path.
