For the past 18 years, I have been an active part of the birth community as a Birth Educator, Doula, and owner of Baby Nest Birth Services. My heart began to break as I saw so many mamas struggle after the baby was born, experiencing postpartum depression, baby blues, lack of milk supply, and exhaustion, unable to enjoy this precious time with their new baby.
I knew about the amazing and healing benefits of using the placenta after birth and knew I wanted to help support new mothers in this way, so I became a Certified Placenta Specialist in 2012. I truly believe the transition into motherhood can be easier and more beautiful by using nature's design in the placenta. This has become one of my greatest passions, as I hear daily about the difference it makes for my clients in creating a more positive, energetic, and balanced postpartum experience.
Outside of my love for all things birth and babies, I love camping and stand-up paddleboarding (especially in Hawaii). If the sun is out, I am beyond happy! I live downtown Vancouver, and love the feeling of living in a small community. My kids, age 17 and 20 keep me busy and are always teaching me things about life and love.
