My entire life I have been drawn to people, I love making connections and helping others. I have worked directly with families for over twelve years; in behavioral therapy as a Registered Behavior Technician, and in psychology research at the University of Denver with mothers and their young children. I am passionate about infant care and about sharing my knowledge to promote health, mindfulness, and the most beneficial outcomes for babies and their parents in the first influential weeks of life. I grew up in Seattle, earned my B.S. degree in Family and Child Studies in Albuquerque, and have lived in beautiful Colorado for five years now. I have completed my thorough Postpartum Doula training through BirthWorks International. In my spare time, I enjoy doing yoga with my husband, hiking with our two dogs, and connecting with friends over good food.
