Whether it be my work for an international adoption agency in Boston, volunteering in both a pediatric unit and domestic violence shelter in Florida or caring for little ones as a nanny, I have always enjoyed spending my time surrounded by children and families. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology & Sociology from Flagler College and I am an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.
My husband and I have been blessed with three beautiful sons who have helped to shape the past twenty five years of my life and have filled my heart with love.
As a DONA Certified Birth Doula and a Rhode Island Certified Perinatal Doula, it is an honor and a privilege to be invited to share in such a sacred milestone and gently hold the space for birthing people and their partners before, during and shortly after childbirth ensuring the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible as they welcome a sweet new life into the world. I truly love what I do!!
