About
I have been in birth work for 20 years, starting out as a doula, trained and certified by DONA International. I then became a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, a certified massage therapist specializing in prenatal and postpartum massage, and a Certified Lactation Educator and Counselor. I am now a Licensed Midwife in California and have let my doula certification expire. I currently provide midwifery care, doula services, breastfeeding support and more.
