About Me

In addition to being a certified holistic doula, I hold a certification in neonatal, pediatric and adult CPR, have taken the Breech Without Borders hands-on Breech Certification Course and Nubia Martin’s Birth Assistant Course and Nubia Martin’s Postpartum Ritual Course.

I am currently certified as a National Registry Paramedic, NJ Paramedic and NYC REMAC Paramedic and have worked in the 911 system responding to medical and traumatic emergencies since 2004. Working in the out of hospital realm for 20 years, I am very calm and comfortable in that setting. I am also a fierce advocate for my clients and am well versed in medical knowledge and lingo, hospital culture, and conversing with all levels of hospital staff.

My skills also include a Fit for Birth Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, Diastasis Core Consultant and Holistic Fertility & Pregnancy Safe Coach and a Certified Reiki Master.

As an avid advocate for pregnant and postpartum mothers and families, I provide support throughout the prenatal period, through the birthing process, and into the postpartum. I believe in supporting and nurturing mothers and families by providing them the time, energy and attention needed to form a deep, trusting relationship. My goal is to be fully invested in my families and to honor, elevate and support them in every way possible. I’ll be available as a resource, a friendly ear, and a confidant to nurture your unique needs.

The precious time of pregnancy, birth and postpartum should be one of nurturing, support, and comfort. Additionally, I believe in education and information sharing while honoring intuition and instinct. Parents should have the opportunity to make decisions that is best for them and their family. Through education and open sharing of information, fear is dispelled and women and families become empowered. They become knowledgeable and active participants throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

What I honor: A team mentality, curiosity instead of judgment, protection of physiologic, undisturbed birth, nurturing a family’s sense of self direction and power, reassurance, a witness to the transformative nature of birth, collaboration, supportive decision making, the altered states of birth, and the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I am also part of a community of vast resources and references such as pelvic floor therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, lactation consultants, mommy-and-me groups, childbirth education courses, grief counselors, breastfeeding classes, and prenatal/postpartum yoga classes.
