Whilst moving continents may have seemed the biggest life changing event I would experience, I soon found out it paled into insignificance when I became a mom. Over the past 15 years I have learnt so much about compassion (for myself & others), patience, openness, honesty, effective communication and selflessness. After the birth of my second son, I faced the most difficult time in my life which lead me into a time of deep introspection. Connecting with a local spiritual community, I was able to discover tools to help me discover my inner-self. As well as meditation, I discovered the Japanese healing modality, Reiki. Initially this was for my personal well-being, however, once I realized how effective it was, I soon began to talk about it and offer it to family and friends. This lead me to become a Reiki Master and open my Reiki practice in 2015. During the same time period I had also become involved with facilitating the Moms Connection group at Salem Health. Listening to the birth stories of moms who attended ignited a desire to become a Birth Doula. I trained at Mother Tree Birth Services and became a certified Birth Doula with DONA International in 2016. In 2022 I completed my THW Birth Doula certification to be able to support families who have OHP Opencard or OHP PacificSource insurance plans. This season of my life is dedicated to serving. It is my desire to help my clients reconnect with their inner-self, finding peace and harmony during the life events that may have given them cause to cross my path.

Since then I have continued to nurture my ties with Salem Health, facilitating the Moms Connection Group for 5 years, a member of the Reiki Team in the in-patient Oncology unit, and now currently a member of the Baby Cuddling Team in NICU and Pediatrics. I am a Local Postpartum Support International (PSI) Coordinator for Marion & Polk Counties with Compass Perinatal Peer Support. We offer peer-led support groups, telephone, email & text support and information on local resources for families who are struggling with PMADs (perinatal mood & anxiety disorders).
