ABOUT ME
About Me
I live in Portland Maine with my spouse and children. I have been practicing yoga since I was in college but developed a real passion for it when I was pregnant with my second child. Yoga has helped me heal emotionally and physically as well as deepen my spirituality. Watching people start out as beginners in yoga and seeing them grow and deepen their practice is a huge gift. I love teaching yoga to all people, but I hold a special place for those who are pregnant and in the postpartum period. That passion led me to my work as a doula.
Working as a doula both in birth and postpartum is a place where I truly thrive. This time in people’s lives is so delicate and precious, but we are almost never prepared for it. I love helping moms and families adjust to their new life in any way that I can.Certifications
