Training that supports physiologic care

I obtained my doula certification through Madriella in February 2018. This training provided a strong foundation in continuous labor support, physiologic birth, comfort measures, advocacy, and emotional presence. It shaped the way I support families — emphasizing informed choice, calm reassurance, and honoring the body’s natural ability to birth when supported with intention and trust.

From May–October 2025, I completed advanced training in Cranial Sacral Therapy and fascial unwinding through Dynamic Body Balancing. This work focuses on gentle, hands-on techniques that support nervous system regulation, releasing tension patterns, and restoring balance. I incorporate this training into my work with both Moms + Babies to address feeding challenges, body tension, and overall function.

I was approved as a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner in December 2025. This training emphasizes the importance of balance, movement, and physiology in pregnancy and labor. As an Aware Practitioner, I integrate principles of optimal fetal positioning and body balance into my education and bodywork supporting the body’s ability to create space and allowing birth to unfold more efficiently and intuitively.

I became a Certified Lactation Counselor through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice in November 2018. This training deepened my understanding of breastfeeding physiology, infant feeding dynamics, and family-centered lactation support. It allows me to support feeding challenges with a holistic, evidence-informed lens while honoring the unique needs of each Mom + Baby.
