I began to recognize that everything that I am and all that I do are all directly connected. Nothing is separate from anything or anyone. I furthered my knowledge of the mind-body-spirit connection by earning a Master’s degree in Health Education and Promotion from an integrative health university, focusing my two-year studies on creating a health education program (Healthy Bellies), educating women, especially black women on the benefits of physical activity during pregnancy. My professional journey has afforded me the opportunity to work with teen mothers, infants and children with complex medical dis-eases, as well as families with varying life transformations including pre-conception, pregnancy, the postpartum period and beyond. 

​

Over the years, through self-study, intimate moments of revelation and a plethora of certification training programs, I also have had the opportunity to learn from some of the most magical and divine birth workers and holistic health practitioners. They have become my mentors and sister-friends as they encouraged me to make my mark on the birth world in my own way. I started working with families as a birth doula; evolving my skills and presence, later referring to myself as an Independent Perinatal & Psychosocial Practitioner. For me it was so much easier than naming all of the individual certifications I received. That was the start of something beautiful.

 

My goal when working with any families is to listen, empower, educate and support them as they re-discover that they are the experts of their lives. I am only here as a supportive presence as they face the many adventures of living life on their own terms. I work with a community of amazing healers, holistic and western medical healthcare professionals and just plain magnificently dope women and men.
