I am drawn to the magic of birth because to me, it is the ultimate embodiment of this human experience.

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula, Intuitive Healer, Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga Instructor, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist and Birth Story Photographer. When we feel safe, loved and empowered we can walk through these key transformations with curiosity, confidence and clarity which is why I do what I do.

I offer my clients a loving, customized environment to experience this labor of love while mindfully embracing and embodying the challenges and rewards of birth in order to create a positive and memorable experience accompanied by the gift of bringing a new soul Earthside!  My ambition is to hold space and consciously support birthing people while they navigate this sacred transformative process of bringing souls into this world with hopes that they will do the same for their new families.

My favorite thing about pregnancy, birth and families is that they come in infinite shapes and sizes.

I help each unique family I work with learn about the endless number of options they have to CREATE a birth experience that they choose to have - sometimes that even means teaching them that they actually have choices and options and that a birth experience CAN BE CREATED! These experiences shape the rest of our lives! I wholeheartedly believe that it takes a village to accomplish all things in life and I dedicate myself to empowering all involved to usher in the new chapter of life as a team using intuition as their beacon of light! We all have everything we need inside of us and I am here to help you find it, know it, and integrate it.

I am passionate about offering aid in a nonjudgmental, open-minded and individualized environment for the birthing person and support team with physical and emotional comfort measures, pain coping methods, relaxation techniques, understanding of birth physiology, communication with medical staff, and supported involvement of a partner, birth companion, etc. The confidence gained in a positive, supported birth experience helps parents trust in themselves and grow in confidence as they move into life with a new baby as a new family unit.

Born and raised in the Portland Metro Area.

When I am not in a birth room, you’ll likely find me in the garden, hugging trees (literally), obsessively organizing things or reading. I find that I am energized, inspired and fulfilled when I am convening in nature. I love hiking and jogging the endless trails of the Pacific Northwest as well as wandering around taking pictures of anything I see. I am a natural observer and tend to notice intricacies and details of things that are generally overlooked and unnoticed.  Because I am motivated and driven to do the things I love as much as possible, I spend a lot of my time creating or in creative environments. I love live music, painting and crafting, cooking, LAUGHING and being silly with my divine tribe of amazing women, and daydreaming! OH! And I love being a cat mom to my socially awkward kitty Melvin.
