I have been a student of holistic and natural solutions to health problems as long as I can remember. I have always trusted in our bodies, and their wisdom to heal when given the resources. This interest in how human bodies work led me to believing I would best serve as a physician, and thus I graduated with a degree in pre-med/Human Biology in 2011. In my final year, I learned that I could support and advocate for and with women during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum time as a doula, I knew that was my calling. I have been a birth doula supporting women and families for nine years, and teaching childbirth education for five. I have supported over 300 families as a doula and/or childbirth educator since then and love the work!

In 2017 I became a certified health coach, and immediately knew I needed something… more. I found the Integrative Women’s Health Institute and have now been certified at a Women’s Health Coach (WHC), and completed the Optimal Fertility (OF) and Functional Nutrition programs as well. As of 2022 I sat for the boards and am now a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)
I work with women who are considering getting pregnant in the future and who want to make sure that if and when they do they are as healthy as they can be. That their mind, body, and spirit are ready for the journey of pregnancy and parenthood.

I am currently a student through Aviva Romm’s Herbal Medicine for Women program, and Yoga Farm Ithaca’s Kundalini Yoga teacher training. I will complete that training within the year to become a Certified Herbal Educator and Yoga Teacher.
