I live near Burnaby Mountain with my family. My husband, José and I have been in love for over 22 years. Together we are raising three daughters and one son. We also share our home and hearts with Bella, our sweet rescue dog.

Some fun facts about me:

• I love walking in the woods, taking daring cold dips in the ocean, spontaneous dance parties with my kids, and nourishing my body with yoga.

• I have given birth at ages 21, 32, 34 and 38. I absolutely loved each pregnancy and the memories of birthing my babies are of my most cherished.

• I enjoy cooking yummy food for my family, big belly laughs, and drinking my coffee while its still warm.

• If you look at my nightstand you will likely find crystals, a journal, and two or more books that I have on the go.

Please book a connection call and tell me about yourself. I want to get to know YOU! :)

I became a mama over 19 years ago. I had an empowering, positive experience giving birth to my first daughter. I give a lot of credit to the information that I learned in that pregnancy. We had hired a doula for birth education - the seed was planted. I vowed that I would educate others on what is possible.

Yoga became a part of my life before my youngest three were born. Deepening my connection to my intuition and developing my mind/body awareness were all keys in finding my way from hospital birth to homebirth to freebirth.

I took a Yoga Teacher Training before I took any doula courses. I had the intention of helping mamas-to-be and new mothers help regulate their nervous system, navigate balancing their body, and release discomfort. I knew this training would enrich my clients’ experience. It also offered me a strong foundation of practices and tools to personally navigate the energetic and physical demands of an 24/7 on call lifestyle while mothering four humans.

I am also passionate about supporting breastfeeding and caring for parents during the early postpartum time. I have studied, taken multiple trainings, and have a lot of experience supporting my clients’ journeys. Personally, I nursed all four of my own babies and even tandem fed my middle babies, however each journey was unique and I had my own set of struggles to overcome.

Childbirth is a such a physical and energetic experience and I desired more ways to offer care, beyond yoga and meditation. In 2019 and early 2020, I added reiki energy healing and reflexology to my offerings to deepen my capacity for supporting women during their childbearing years and beyond.

Yes. I currently work in both the home and hospital setting. I have experience supporting planned surgical births, emergency surgical births, hospital births with and without an epidural, VBACs, and homebirths.

I do believe that for most healthy, low-risk women and babies, birthing at home is the easiest, safest way to give birth. That being said, I did have my first baby at the hospital and don’t have any regrets.

At the end of the day, I trust mothers. You know your body and your baby best!
