A mother of two teenagers (one hospital-birth and one home-birth) and a certified “Birthing From Within” birth educator, I teach how to tap into one’s personal experience to prepare for the remarkable journey of pregnancy, birth and parenting.  

Birthing from Within 

I am passionate about the Birthing From Within curriculum because it fully embraces the depth of this life-changing experience, while celebrating the uniqueness of every parent’s ongoing personal path. While traditional birthing classes teach about the physical and medical aspects of birth, they often fall short of preparing first-time (and repeat) parents for the magnitude, wonder and challenges of what lies ahead. My approach is holistic; I provide parents with perinatal support – from the start of pregnancy to roughly a year after birth.

​

I come to this work as a massage therapist, Pilates instructor and dancer. As a bodyworker, I bring a keen understanding of physical anatomy as well as how our bodies can hold our emotions. As a Pilates instructor, I help others strengthen and heal their bodies through various movement modalities. As a modern dancer, I’ve learned how to mine emotions and ideas through movement, strength, vulnerability and grace. 

 

Colorado born, I am a wilderness backpacker and expedition kayaker. I have become an avid outdoor water photographer, enthralled with capturing its dance and reflections. I marvel in the intelligence of this wondrous element that comprises the majority of our bodies and the Earth’s surface. 

 

My aspiration with WovenWaters is to share how each of us, like water itself, can bring ingenuity and resilience to our personal journeys; skirting obstacles, changing form, and rejoining our energy as we carve new paths forward.
