About Me

My Philosophy

In basic terms – you got this! No one know your body better or your child better than you do. YOU are the expert. I am just here to help guide you to reach into your own intuition. I can help you observe, apply your observations and intuition, and build your confidence as parent.

Let me tell you a little about myself, I will start with the personal stuff so that you can really get a sense of who I am. Below that you will find all of my professional credentials.

I have been married to my best friend since October 2012. Matt keeps my on my toes and is one of my biggest supporters. He is actively involved in volleyball both as a player and a coach. We just welcomed our first child in May of 2022 and she has completely reconfigured our world in the best way!

I have always enjoyed being around children and found myself in the Fall of 2015 becoming an assistant at a Montessori school. At the time, I knew very little about Montessori and her methods, but as I walked into the classroom and saw children doing things for themselves I knew I had to get in on the action. I was an assistant for two years and in the summer of 2017 took my classes for my Montessori 0-3 credential. I taught in the classroom for two years. During that time I realized that while I loved the Montessori philosophy, it wasn’t my calling in life to be a teacher (at least not traditionally). So, I shifted my focus to pregnancy and birth and in the fall of 2018 took training to begin my journey as a birth doula. 

One of my favorite pastimes is playing games – any and all games! I especially enjoy cooperative games and being with friends and family. I also enjoy being outside, especially on the water in a kayak. Anytime I need to feel grounded you will find me near some kind of body of water – even if it is just my shower!

When I am not doing that, I enjoy reading and researching, observing and catching up on some Netflix.

Life is messy and sometimes so am I :). I use humor to diffuse certain situations and enjoy being the calming presence in the eye of the storm. 

I can’t wait to meet you and your family!

Education & Continuing Education

Generally, as a person, I feel that I will never stop learning or growing. Therefore, I am always looking for opportunities to learn new things on pregnancy, birth and beyond as well as in the Montessori field.
