As a mother of six and a proud grandmother, I've cherished the individuality of each birth experience — whether it unfolded at home, in a birthing center, or within a hospital setting. Reflecting on these moments, I recognize the profound impact that quality care can have on one's birthing journey. Every mother deserves to feel empowered and in control during this extraordinary time in her life.
Having breastfed all my children and aided others in embracing the beauty of breastfeeding, I am deeply passionate about providing support to families before, during, and after birth. This commitment led me to become a Lamaze Childbirth Educator, where I take pride in preparing families for the joys and challenges of pregnancy, labor, and parenthood.
Moreover, my training in Spinning Babies® techniques enables me to teach expectant parents how to utilize these methods for comfort and to facilitate smoother birthing experiences. Additionally, as a certified Body Ready Method® Pro, I adhere to evidence-based principles in prenatal, birth, and postpartum care, drawing from a reputable prenatal online program.
Being a member of Doula Training International (DTI) and the San Francisco Doula Group allows me to collaborate with a diverse community of professionals, extending my services to clients across Marin County, San Francisco, East Bay, and Sonoma County.
Furthermore, as a ROSE program facilitator for the Postpartum Support Center in San Rafael, I am dedicated to equipping new mothers with essential skills, information, and resources to reduce the risk of postpartum depression. This is so important as statistics show that 1 in 7 women experiences maternal depression.
I am eager to connect with you and discuss how I can support you on your journey into parenthood. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and be a part of your transformative experience.
