and  BIRTHING MINDFULLY LIVING MINDFULLY is my creation. Mindfulness

is a core value in my life and work. My vision is full of optimism and practicality.

I bring my personal practice of compassion, patience, reframing, and acceptance into my work. Used judiciously, humor and laughter are important aspects of my personal and professional relationships. Sometimes, it really is the best medicine. I am attentive, responsive, and empathic, in all the services and support I provide.

 

My goal is to build connection and trust, and empower my clients to find their voice and use it effectively to achieve their goals. I have a very accessible and engaging style, and strive to remain sensitive to my clients' needs, wishes, and preferences. An open line of communication is key to your comfort and success.

 

My professional titles include counselor/therapist, birth doula and educator, and mentor. It's all about 'partnership.' Whatever service and support I provide, ‘we’re in it together’-- marriage counseling, to labor support or mentoring a new doula - it's all a privilege and a joy. My personal roles include, mother, wife, sister, nanna, daughter, and friend. They are all grounding and growing. My creative side includes: writing, painting, and cooking. Mind body fitness is a cornerstone, and having a spiritual practice keeps me rooted in my core values, and able to bend when the winds blow and the tides change.
