Healing Support

Presence Heals

It is my gift and my commitment to behold you in your vastness and your wounds, in your wholeness and your brokenness, and to bring healing and support to whatever arises. My medicine is simply being with the unfolding within you and showing up in that space with you with what is called for in the moment. I will listen deeply for your wisdom and together we will empower your wisdom to flow fully through you. 

I work with people of all ages and I love that; every stage of life has such unique qualities of beingness and wisdom and it is an honor to support life from beginning to end. In my Doula work and cranial work, I support from conception (and even pre-conception) onwards. In my EFT practice I work with all ages, from very small children all the way through to our elders. Tools of emotional regulation and support bring benefit in all circumstances and stages of life.      

I am skilled and trained in modalities including Emotional Freedom Technique, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Wellness Consultations, Birth and Postpartum Doula Support, Community Herbalism, Child, Family and Adult Yoga, and Meditation. Some of my work lends itself beautifully to distance sessions, which can be done via Zoom, Skype or Phone. It is amazing how powerful and effective distance work can be for EFT, Wellness Consultations and even Pregnancy and Postpartum Consultations!

Pregnancy Birth and postpartum Support

Many years ago, I read a quote from biologist Joseph Chilton Pierce that went something like this “The most revolutionary powerful act we can engage in for the future of humanity is to support and care for a pregnant woman”. And continuing on into that is care for babies growing inside and babies outside from 0 to 2. Of course, providing care and support for all human beings, all sentient creatures actually, is a radical act of compassion and very important. Joseph Chilton Pierce is highlighting this phase of life because of the templates laid down that influence one’s entire life. That quote, which I read during my cranial training sent me off on a journey of exploration, study and practice into support for pregnancy, birth and the postpartum time. For many years I have been deeply immersed in this work. I have no degrees and no certifications in this work, although I am slowly working towards a certification in pre and perinatal psychology and I will when the time is right engage in the formal doula certification process. At this time, I have supported and attended two births and supported many parents in preparing for and beginning their families. The first birth I attended was 3 days and the second was 4 days and 4 nights. So, although I haven’t attended many births, I have spent a lot of time in labor land supporting moms, dads and babies. And I have spent a lot of time helping parents prepare for their families, connect with their growing little ones and support their new babies. 

 I provide pregnancy support, including helping expecting mothers and their partners connect with their babies, connect with each other and themselves, their fears and aspirations for birth and parenting and beyond.  In addition to caring for expecting mothers, I also provide birth and postpartum support, helping parents plan and prepare for the birth process and understand the tempo and experience of their little ones so that this precious and potent time receives as much support as possible.

You want to give everything to your unborn child and I can help you create and nurture this emotional connection to support healthy development. Studies have shown that pregnant women who are supported to connect with their unborn babies throughout the day during pregnancy have babies with much higher developmental markers than babies who were not connected with before birth. And I believe that we can reinforce this by continuing to provide this support and connection for parents and their developing babies during and after birth as well.
