I love being a trainer for Birth Arts International. BAI is where I began as a new doula and it upholds values that I feel very passionate about. Sharing the knowledge that I have gained and being able to witness my students growing into incredible doulas is an honor.

I have partnered with Meditate: School of Mindfulness to offer certifications in Mindfulness Teaching, Transformational Life Coaching, and more as a mentor for the Master Of Mindfulness Program.

My passion for birth grew from a love of helping others paired with my own experiences birthing my two children years ago. I understand on a personal level that when a birthing person has the support they need, they are able to get in touch with their intuition and understand their options. This allows space for a powerful and transformational experience.  

I love knowing that as I travel and teach virtually to students around the globe I am leaving behind capable and caring people who are certain to improve the lives of their community.

My private practice serves clients locally in West Los Angeles as well as from a distance as a certified doula, intuitive healer, and transformational life coach.

When I am not teaching or working with clients I enjoy spending time with my husband and teenagers, being in nature, practicing yoga & meditation, or heading to the beach to rejuvenate with the ocean waves.

Training and Education

I am constantly seeking knowledge that will benefit my clients and students. Continuing my own education can look like reading the latest books and research to attending workshops and webinars.
