“All of these lines across my face, tell you a story of who I am.
So many stories of where I’ve been and how I got to where I am….”
- Brandi Carlile
First and foremost, I am a mother of two and a wife to an amazing man.I was born and raised in Colorado. I grew up in western Colorado and spent a good portion of my childhood in the mountains hiking, camping, snowboarding and wishing I could explore the wider world.
Once at the University of Colorado, I decided to pursue my passion for French by living abroad in France for a few years. I moved back to Colorado after a 3-year stint in NYC to be with my family and pursue a yoga career. Little did I know I would also be meeting the loves of my life and joining the birth world!
My Doula and Childbirth Mentor Journey
As a Certified Professional Doula, one of Colorado’s only Certified Birthing From Within® Mentors and an experienced pre and postnatal yoga teacher, I have guided hundreds of parents in along their birth journey and beyond. In the birthing and postpartum spaces, I bring compassion, a gentle presence, and a thorough knowledge about how birth and postpartum can unfold to all I am lucky enough to work with.
Knowing that not every birth goes as one might expect, I provide support with reassurance, a non-judgmental ear, and a belief in parents that they can rise to be the best version of themselves, even in times of great transition or challenge.
I LOVE birth and believe that it is amongst life’s most sacred rites-of-passage.
