Hello + Welcome!
I came to this work selfishly if Im completely honest. Every step of my journey has been about understanding myself on a deeper level. The very 1st stop on this journey was a very transformative prenatal yoga teacher training + my own birth story. I lost myself for a while + found my way back through holistic living, herbalism + the very slow continuous work or learning what my body had been trying to tell me.
I’m a Full spectrum Doula + Holisitic Hormonal Lifecyle Educator based in Charlotte, NC. I teach women, walk with women, write for women + believe deeply that lifestyle medicine is liberation.
