Breathwork has a way of untangling the behaviors, beliefs, patterns, relationships and restrictions that hold us back from living the life we want. It lovingly overrides many of the unconscious mental and physical defense mechanisms we have in place, offering psychosomatic relief and release. After many years trying many modalities, I turn to breathwork because of its profound simplicity and accessibility.
While I support your choice to birth however and wherever you feel safest, I specialize in physiologic, unmedicated birth and am an advocate for the homebirth midwifery model of care. From prenatal visits and on-call labor support to nurturing postpartum care, I am devoted to helping you feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported every step of the way.
I work each day to cultivate a beautiful, loving, and secure childhood for my kids. And what I've learned over the last 8 years is that buying, working, and doing more isn't the way. Instead, it's been a journey of ruthlessly opting out, simplifying, and creating sustainable systems that require the least ongoing effort from me. All the magic happens when I'm able to do less and be with more. I try to inspire people to think creatively and boldly about ways to make their own lives flow with more ease.
I was born and raised in Virginia and went to college in NYC where I met my husband. After graduating, we moved around the world before settling in Philadelphia where my first two babies were born - one with an undiagnosed birth defect requiring life saving surgery and one born peacefully at home. We relocated to New Orleans in 2021 and welcomed our third baby on a warm December day - another healing homebirth. I'm trained as a therapeutic breathworker and a birth, postpartum, and end-of-life doula. I also support other small business owners with consulting and website design over at www.virginiastrong.co.
