Classes Taught: Childbirth Preparation Series
I love forming connections with my students and helping them connect with each other. It is my goal to help my students think more deeply about their birth experience and the postpartum period. The transition to parenthood is profound, and having guides and support along the way is crucial. I want my students to feel confident, empowered, and supported going into their births and early parenthood.
Teaching Style: Evidence-based, fun, conversational, empathetic.
Background:
I have degrees in music and writing, and have a varied background working in book publishing, nonprofit organizations, and ESL education. I became fascinated by birth after having my own children, and am now a certified birth doula through PALS and childbirth educator through Great Starts. I am also passionate about photography and am a certified birth photographer through Birth Becomes You.
Favorite Thing About Teaching:
Sharing helpful resources, forming connections that sometimes last beyond the class, seeing friendships grow among students, meeting students’ babies at the class reunions.
Personal Interests:
I am a mom of three rambunctious children who endlessly challenge me and also make me laugh. I am a creative person and lover of the arts and nature. I love to learn new things about the world and find myself constantly amazed.
