I was the first in my nursing school to be able to work in Maternity for my Practical Rotation. During this time, I was approached by my friend and colleague Dr. Kelley Valle, OB/GYN (who was pregnant at the time and taking my yoga class) with the proposal to make an instructional prenatal yoga video. We did just that and Birthwell Yoga has been available on the market ever since.

After graduating RN school in 2001, I moved up to the Berkshire Mountains of Mass. I was hired by Fairview Hospital for my first nursing job in Labor and Delivery. Working nights in this little hospital was wonderful because I was able to give all my patients TLC and great Doula support as their nurse. But alas, this town was too small for me and I longed for the adventure of the big city, so I packed up and moved to Los Angeles in January 2006.

Currently, I reside in in beautiful Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, California. I work as a birth doula, postpartum doula and play drums in an all woman world music band. I work as a back up for Doulas, as a home birth assistant, as well as teach yoga at Yo Mama Yoga in Santa Monica. This spring, I will begin working towards my masters in Nurse Midwifery through the Philadelphia University long distance Midwifery education program.
