Greetings Mamas and Families! I am passionate about people receiving support during pregnancy, through labor, and throughout their postpartum period, or Sacred Window as it is called within Ayurvedic postpartum traditions. Your Sacred Window includes the first 6-8 weeks after you birth. This is a transformative time where the care you receive can profoundly support and impact your health for the next four decades of your life. This is one of the most vulnerable and tender times a womb holder will experience in our life time- it is a time of deep transformation and a time where we can receive deep nourishment and reset the health of our body, hopefully to support greater health and longevity. The time tested postpartum practices I utilize are aimed at supporting the physiological shift, healing, and embodiment needed to support integration of the wild journey into parenthood. I think of this work both as sacred and as revolutionary in supporting and honoring the vital role of parents and womb holders to shift our culture toward a more loving, connected, and supportive culture prepared to parent the future generations.
This work and the Sacred Window also applies to pregnancy losses whether they are chosen in an abortion or experienced through a miscarriage or still birth. This work and this care is profoundly important to honor our bodies for the work and shifts that occur whenever our wombs become empty.
I feel incredibly fortunate to get to do this work which is my heart's work within our community. I have had the honor of working with families as a labor and Ayurvedic postpartum doula since 2012 and have provided care and support for 100 + families.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Clinical Nutrition from CSU Cal Poly and then went on to graduate from the California College of Ayurveda as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist followed by becoming an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula with the Sacred Window School of Maternal and Infant Health. I was trained as a Labor Doula by DONA International trainer Connie Sultana CD (Dona) in Sebastopol CA. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in Rejuvenating Ayurvedic Body therapies and Postpartum Ayurvedic Massage. I have also attended the Birth Story Listening training and completed the Innate Postpartum Care Provider training with Rachelle Garcia Seliga, LPM. I have also attended the Birth Into Being 10 day training with Elena Vladimirova in Chico CA to facilitate the healing of our own birth traumas before and after the birth of our own children. All of the trainings have had a profound impact on my journey as a birth worker and continue to provide opportunities for reflection and growth on my own journey. I also have the honor of being one of the founding instructors at the Center for Sacred Window Studies where I get to teach aspiring Ayurvedic postpartum doulas/caregivers all about postpartum cooking, nutrition, and herbal foods. I would love to help you have a nourished and supported pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience.

During your free 30 minute Intro call we will introduce ourselves, discuss your experience of pregnancy, your desired birth and postpartum experience and explore how I can best support you as a birth worker and Ayurvedic practitioner. If I am a good fit for you, we can set up an appointment to meet in person to discuss your birth and postpartum plans in greater detail with you and your partner or support person. I look forward to talking with you soon, and congratulations on your Little-one to be!
