A little about me: My journey into natural health support began about 20 years ago, during my first pregnancy. It was then that I developed a deep passion for birth, postpartum care, and holistic health practices. After welcoming my first child, I made a life-changing decision to leave my day job and pursue a path in yoga teaching and aromatherapy. My focus was on trauma release, prenatal, and postpartum yoga.

When my second child was born, I attended DONA doula training. The moment I supported my first birth as a doula, I knew this would be a rewarding addition to my practice. As a birth doula, I offer emotional and physical support, guidance, and evidence-based information to empower you to have a calm, connected, and positive birth experience. My background in yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy gives me a strong understanding of anatomy and comfort measures, allowing me to help you relax and connect with your body during birth.

As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), I have received specialized training in lactation support, and I am certified to assess latching and feeding, provide corrective interventions, and offer counseling on milk production and common challenges. Whether you are exclusively nursing, pumping, or doing a combination of both, I’m here to support your goals. In more complex cases, I’ll refer you to an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for additional expertise. I love helping new parents navigate their journey, offering guidance on infant massage, baby-wearing, and supporting the transition into parenthood.

What’s next? Parenting doesn’t come with an owner's manual! I can assist you in creating a peaceful, connected home life. With children, life can feel chaotic, but together, we can simplify it and build a strong foundation to support your growing family.

I’m the proud mother of three and live in Lisbon Falls, ME, with my family. I am committed to ongoing education and continuously deepening my knowledge to better support the families I work with.
