About Me

During my journey into motherhood—and my own experience with a cesarean birth and a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)—I developed a passion for pregnancy, the birth process, and babies. As both a mother and a birth support professional, I understand the importance of support and education during pregnancy and labor in achieving a positive birth experience. The notion of a "positive birth experience" differs from one person to the next, and my goal is to help parents define what they want their birth experience to be, and to help them achieve it.

In 2005, I became a DONA certified birth doula and began an amazing journey of providing support to couples at the births of their babies. In addition to labor support, I teach childbirth education classes, prenatal yoga and baby yoga/infant massage. As a certified lactiation counselor, I also provide breastfeeding support and education to clients and students.

My classes take place in Camarillo at the Camarillo Yoga Center, and my services (labor support and private classes) cover Ventura County and the west San Fernando Valley.
