I look forward to connecting with you! I am an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Perinatal Mental Health Therapist, ready to support you.

I began my dedication to serving new families over 15 years ago as a La Leche League volunteer leader.  In addition to my private practice, I work as a hospital-based Lactation Specialist at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center.  I am an experienced and certified birth doula, certified birth doula trainer, and a trained postpartum doula with Birth Arts International, having trained with the amazing Beth Goldberg and Demetria Clark. 

After receiving my 200 hr Yoga Alliance Registration from Lotus Gardens and my 500 hr Registration from Laughing Lotus, I gained my prenatal certification with Yoga Haven, with additional prenatal training with MA Yoga in New York City. I spent years on the teaching staff of Devotion Yoga and Hudson Yoga Project in Hoboken, New Jersey, where I taught prenatal and parent/child yoga, led workshops, and offered teacher training. 

I am honored to have served pregnant and parenting people at Rikers Island Jail in NYC with Liberation Prison Yoga. I have served on the board of LPY, as their Program Director and as a teacher trainer.  I continue to develop curriculum for organizations and teachers looking to incorporate trauma-informed prenatal yoga into their work. I have worked extensively with Yoga Service Council , Omega Institute and Yoga Behind Bars.

My bachelor's degree is in theater from Connecticut College, and I hold an MA in Applied Psychology/Drama Therapy from New York University.  I am currently working on my doctorate in Health Science with a concentration in mental health at Bay Path University. I hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health with Postpartum Support International, having completed advanced training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders and Perinatal Loss & Grief from Seleni Institute and PSI. I am trained as a Midwife Assistant with JJB Midwifery under Shana Norberg. I am also a proud member of the New York Lactation Consultant Association, New Hampshire Lactation Consulting,  Vermont Birth Network and the PSI Vermont Chapter board where I served as the co-chair. My husband, Chris, and I have four children.
