My affinity for pregnancy and birth began while I was practicing Clinical Social Work in Michigan where I worked as a Pregnancy Counselor offering therapy to teens and women who were experiencing an unplanned pregnancy; and it was there that I was trained as a Doula.  After my daughter was born at home (with a doula attending) and I had resigned from my job, I realized that my career path was going to veer from clinical therapy to the birthing arena. What I had learned and experienced as a woman and mother was so affirming, inspiring, and empowering, I had to share it with others!

Colorado Springs Classes

I am a mother to two beautiful children, both born at home using the techniques and comfort measures I teach in my childbirth classes. I am also an accredited La Leche League Leader (breastfeeding support) with the Colorado Springs North Group.  We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am in the Community Room at the East Library.  I am also a co-leader of the Colorado Springs BirthNetwork chapter. BirthNetwork is a national non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide information and support to anyone interested in having a safe and satisfying birth. We meet every third Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:00 pm in the café at Whole Foods (formerly Wild Oats at S. Carefree and Powers).
