I am a mother, midwife, educator, body worker, community herbalist, and rhythmic therapist. I seek to weave these passions together by creating unique offerings for my intimate community of clients and the wider world through online trainings, speaking events + film screenings. In addition to using my own birth experiences to deepen my understanding and empathy for birthing and postpartum mothers, I am grateful to have happily nursed my babies for a total of 6 years as well as counseled many other nursing mothers through simple and complex breastfeeding concerns. I continue to deepen my study and understanding of lactation as a part of my services for women.

I was featured as the unobtrusive and hands-off midwife in the film These Are My Hours, and now work behind the scenes as a co-producer and eduational and outreach coordinator.

I work as a musician and co-director of Sacred Heart Beats, an improvisational drumming group that also practices as a service organization. We perform in team building experiences, share in mindful communication drum circles in school settings, and connect individuals with complex or special needs to community drum circles. We train facilitators in our method of facilitation. We will release a recording of labor and birth inspired percussion pieces in 2023.

I am supported by my partner and best friend, Scott, and our beautiful blended family of five children. I am eternally grateful for the support of my mom and dad and extended family for knitting together life when I am away.
