When I was in school at the BodyMind Academy studying Hypnotherapy and Breathwork, I discovered that I wanted to work with families during their birthing process.  From there I did my Birth Doula training in 2005, at the Seattle Midwifery School, and my HypnoBirthing training in 2006. 

I am certified as a Birth Doula through DONA International   as well as a Certified HypnoBirthing Practitioner in the Marie Mongan Method.

I have been a Reiki Practitioner for  10 years and studied with energy workers in Seattle and Mexico, as while as trained in Kundalini Yoga.

Complementing my training, my 4 years working at Birth and Beyond in Madison Valley has also provided me with a depth of knowledge to help moms and their partners become acclimated with newborn care, breastfeeding and the realities of postpartum.
