In November 2006 my husband and I lived one of the most beautiful and
transcending experiences of our lives...we became parents. Our beautiful
baby was born in our home surrounded by the loving and welcoming
energy of women, her papa, and water! I am proud and grateful to have
experienced birth in this way and I am embracing motherhood and all its
magic.
My husband and I have been together for 5 amazing years. He is a teacher
and drum circle facilitator who recently founded Giving World
Percussion. He is passionate about sharing the healing qualities of group
drumming and bringing out the natural rhythm that is within us. In
addition to drumming, his areas of expertise include the social sciences.
I received a B.S in Business Administration through the University of
Central Florida. After graduating I knew that the corporate world was
not for me and decided to follow my heart wherever it would guide me. I
have always loved children and am naturally nurturing, qualities that
would lead me into the teaching profession.
After a short time in the public school setting, I realized again that this
was not for me. My friend (now a midwife at The Birth Place) introduced
me to the concept of a doula. I didn't know why at the time but I was
immediately drawn in and eventually became a Certified Doula. After my
first experience supporting a woman through childbirth, I knew that this
role would stay with me forever.
My love and passion for supporting women's transformation has guided
me into furthering my education, training, and experience. In addition to
being a doula, I am a Certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator,
and have served as secretary of the Central Florida Birth Network for the
last 2 years. My love of children has also inspired me to facilitate a
parent/child yoga program through which I help deepen this precious
bond.
I am also deeply dedicated to my own spiritual awakening and that of
others. As an Avatar Master I have had life-changing experiences and I
am dedicated to contributing to an "enlightened planetary civilization". I
am grateful for all of my experiences because I realize they are an
opportunity for growth and have made me the person I am today. I am
looking forward to what lies ahead for me and my family.
