Meet Your Doula

I am very passionate about healing, and I believe it can be found in many ways. I'm a licensed massage therapist and energy worker since graduating from Myotherapy Massage College in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1997. I specialize in energy work, Thai massage, and prenatal massage. In the beginning I went to massage school for myself because I personally was looking for a healing experience, and that is what I found. It has been a very fulfilling career for me. I do my best to provide a safe and unconditionally loving space for people to have a healing experience in.

 

Pregnancy, birth, and babies...I love it all!  I did a DONA training to become a doula in 2003, though I didn't start practicing for awhile since I was in the midst of having my own babies. I see the birth process as a huge opportunity for growth and healing. This is a time for the birthing person to communicate with their body and find their own intuitive, creative, and unique way of birthing. This is not just a mother experience but a parent experience - I love getting the partners involved. Eventually I did a training called Stillbirthday for bereavement doula services and got certified with them. One of my more recent educational experiences is Cranial Sacral Therapy for infants. I love working with the babies! As a birth photographer I love capturing the sweet moments between a couple during the birth process. I am a certified birth photographer through Birth Becomes You. I wish I had doula support and photos of my birth experiences, so I really enjoy providing these services.

I love teaching things that I'm passionate about. I teach a variety of classes such as yoga, dance, meditation, infant massage, and comfort measures for birth. I did a prenatal yoga training in 2019 and a 200-hr yoga training in 2021. All of these are lovely ways to find healing.

I'm married and have 3 amazing children. My children have always been the best teachers. I was born and raised in Utah, and I love this incredible outdoor state. Nature is a spiritual teacher for me; it is where I feel connected, grounded, and loved.

I'm always pursuing new ways to grow in everything I do. My son says I'm a restless soul. :) I love exploring new places and being creative is so many ways.
