About me
I have a background in Science, I studied Zoology in college and was fascinated by animal adaptations to differing environments. Throughout my pregnancies I was amazed to see my body adapting and changing physically, spiritually and emotionally, to hold, birth and nourish my babies.
My journey into supporting pregnant and postpartum women began in 2016 when I trained as a placenta remedies specialist. In 2018 I trained as a birth doula and as a postpartum doula in 2019. I have been working with families since.
As I moved further into the world of birth myself and through supporting other women, the need for women to be witnessed grew more and more. Women began birthing outside of a fractured system so I felt called to grow and move alongside them. I learned more about traditional birthkeeping, how to support and witness women birthing from this space.
This lead me to creating my own Birth Preparation Workshop this year that encourages both the mama and dada to journey inward and see what may need to be uncovered, in order to allow their little ones transition into this world to be as smooth as possible.
To better support women postpartum I learned from the traditional postpartum ritual of closing the bones and am a closing the bones facilitator or Rebozo Message Therapist. Closing The Bones is an ancient postpartum message given to mothers using the Mexican shawl (Rebozo) to rock and massage the mother from head to toe. It is the opening and holding of a sacred space where the mother can feel safe to let any emotions from her pregnancy, birth or postpartum journey rise to the surface.
