I am a certified birth doula, certified lactation counselor, RYT-500 yoga teacher, writer and cook. Holding space, working with my hands, facilitating somatic connection and anticipating the needs of others has been a part of my work forever.

I have a colorful background as a farmer, bartender, baker, restaurant manager, event coordinator, yoga & meditation teacher, and neurofeedback technician in a mental health practice. This unique amalgamation informs the tireless, compassionate, intuitive and grounded way I serve women in their pregnancy, birth and matrescent experience. The support I offer feels, to me, like a beautiful confluence of all the work I’ve been involved with over the years— hospitality and care; education and movement; nourishment and connection; mindfulness and practical, hands-on support. I'm passionate about connecting people to their breath, their bodies and their intuition. Expect to feel grounded, informed, heard and held.

I grew up in Upstate New York. I love to write, be in the woods, try out new recipes, knit, practice French and travel. I dream of someday hiking the Appalachian Trail and publishing a book of essays and poems. I live in Ellicott City with my husband and daughter.
