As a certified INNATE Postpartum Care Provider and Apprentice Midwife, with more than 6 years of birth-work experience and over a decade of experience working with clients I have so much to share with you! My desire with this work is to help to weave community and support for Mothers, in service to Life all the generations to come. I want to create THRIVING health for our mothers and babies. I want Mothers to feel loved, cared for, supported and fully resourced so they may focus on raising their babies. With the right support and care a woman’s health can actually increase after birth, and we have the opportunity to assure her health through her menopause and beyond. This is my passion, and I am so excited to share it with you!
This course is based on my studies with Rachelle Garcia Seliga, CPM of INNATE Traditions and I am so grateful to have her as a teacher, ally and mentor in this work. Through learning about evidence based postpartum care, and truly tending to the physiology and psychology of Mothers and babies, we can create real change in the world, one family at a time.
Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns and I am happy to discuss if this course is right for you and your family!
