I provide daytime support to families as a postpartum doula. My favorite part of the job is breastfeeding education and support, so in 2017 I earned a Certificate as a Lactation Educator Counselor from UCSD. I find that my Masters in Social Work, earned in 2004 from SDSU, enhances the emotional support I provide to clients.
I also offer pregnancy and newborn portraits, since photography was actually my first career and undergraduate field of study, and prenatal yoga privates, for which I received certification in 2016.
Lastly, I recently formed a perinatal provider group called Namaste Baby in order to connect my clients with the other services they most frequently ask about. Please request the handbook here.
I live in La Jolla with my son Declan and our dog Cocoa. When I’m not working I’m spending time with my family, going to yoga and dance classes, playing tennis, reading, or walking the dog by the beach.
