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 and co-led the Bennington Baby Cafe.  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. I have completed training in Craniosacral Therapy (CST) with Lori Hendrickson.

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. My husband, Chris, and I have four children.
