This compassionate and guided process will help you discover greater perspective, inspire self-reflection, and support you in changing your relationship with a challenging birth story. If you are struggling with processing your birth story, you deserve support that fits with your birth, your life, and your needs.

Expecting parents deserve inclusive, non-judgmental childbirth preparation. My work as a Doula, Childbirth Educator, Birth Story Mentor, Birth Professional Trainer, Author, and Coach has shown me the importance of giving parents the tools they need to work toward their goals while helping them foster a resilient, self-compassionate mindset to face the inevitable surprises - large or small - that arise during the birth process.

I know what's it's like to experience confusion and overwhelm during times of transition. That's why I've been passionate about bringing companionship and empathy to parents and professionals since 2012. Are you ready to get the support you need as you cross the next threshold? Check out my courses and publications!
