About Me
I am a firm believer that a person’s pregnancy, labor, and birth are one of the most powerfully pivotal moments in a persons’s life. My goal is to support, empower, provide evidence based information, and assist in making your birth journey as memorable as possible.
I received my Bachelors of Science degree from Montana State University in 2009 graduating on the Dean's List. With a passion for helping others I fell in love with the aspect of supporting, encouraging, and helping others grow, with compassion, respect, understanding, and commitment to meet each individual where they are at. I am a forever student of life, and enjoy trainings and new experiences that will build on my strengths to help others.
I completed my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2014, and have been teaching yoga ever since. I am currently E-RYT200 and a YACEP. I hold an additional certificate in aerial yoga and have many additional training hours in pre and postnatal yoga. Throughout my own personal experience with labor and the delivery of my son in 2015 and my daughter in 2019, I experienced the monumental impact that I will forever carry. With a heart for helping, and a passion for pregnancy, birth and beyond I trained and Certified with CAPPA as a Labor Doula in 2017. I attended my
Childbirth Educator and Lactation Educator training in 2017. In 2018 I trained with CAPPA as a New Parent Educator, became a Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula with Stillbirthday, and trained and Certified with Brilliant Birth Academy as a Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist. I became certified as a Cuarentena Postpartum Doula, Certified Faja and Bengkung Belly Binder in 2019, attended and Certified as an Advanced VBAC Doula, completed my Diabetes Doula Training for type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes, and trained to become a Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula in 2019. I most recently completed a midwifery assistance workshop, and Spinning Babies training. I am currently training to certify as an aromatherapist and training as a student midwife. I proudly offer an array of birth services to San Luis Obispo County.
I encourage families to build a support system to support and help propel them into this incredible life changing experience. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
With Love, Light, and Gratitude.

“Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation; continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path exactly where you are meant to be right now. And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love.“ ~ Caroline Adams
