Meet your teacher!
I’m a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, Spinning Babies Certified Educator, Body Ready Birth Teacher, Red Cross Instructor, and Certified Lactation Counselor.
In 2015 and 2016, I experienced two traumatic C-sections. After that, I decided that if there was anything I could do to avoid another, I would do the work — preferably without pain medication.
Fast forward, and I’ve since had four vaginal births after two C-sections — three completely unmedicated, through advocacy, body preparation, and education.
Along the way, I’ve supported and educated over 100 moms through pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding — helping them reduce and avoid pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding complications and improve outcomes.
