My story
I first heard about HypnoBirthing® in 2012 when my daughter asked me to be her labor companion.
After the birth of my grandson, I was so impressed, I became a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner.
When my first HB couples started birthing their babies, I volunteered as a birth doula.
With my very first birth, I knew I was where I was always supposed to be. I feel that in combination with my education in alternative medicine, I can be an integral part of one of the most important times in your life.
I'm a wife, mom, and nana whose favorite thing in the world is to be with my family. I enjoy bowling, playing tennis, and golf with my husband, Brad.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Alternative Medicine from Everglades University in Boca Raton, Florida.
I've been a Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner since 2013 and have provided services as a Birth Doula and Labor Companion since early, 2014 – earning my certification in May, 2015.
In 2016, I added Birth Photographer and Placenta Encapsulator to my repertoire of services.
I am so excited about the opportunity to educate and empower families!
