History
During my first pregnancy, I learned so much about pregnancy, labor, and birth. After switching care providers and with the support of a doula, I had a wonderfully empowering birth. The experience immediately gave me the motivation to become a birthworker and I've been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum since. I spent many years working as a birth and postpartum doula in the Bay Area before finding the space to study midwifery. It is now my pleasure to serve families at home during any or all parts of the childbearing year. After the births of my three children, I used my placentas to help in my postpartum recovery. It made a huge difference for me in my physical and mental recovery. The more I learn about the placenta, the more fascinated I am. I really enjoy helping families with the transition to new parenthood and I truly believe in supporting mothers in recovery I very carefully and lovingly prepare these postpartum remidies for each family.
