About Me 

My life is a search for creating and living through joy, in myself, with my children, in my work and with those around me: to being in my center, to living in trust...and to being gentle with myself in the moments when I forget! To live in Love, Trust and Joy...what a blessing! And to know that it is for us to create. Scary? Maybe. Empowering? Definitely. Full of challenges? Sure! And, deeply rewarding? Yes! 

Besides being a mother to my two children, my other passion is my work; whether as a doula, supporting women to be empowered in birthing their babies or as a breath coach by guiding people in the discovery of the power of the breath.  I love to play a role in guiding humanity to reach its highest potential: through undisturbed, gentle birth, to healing trauma, to supporting movement towards what serves us and away from what does not serve.  I love to help those I work with to truly live life in the way that moves them towards more Love, more Trust and more Joy!

I love to learn and be inspired by others.  I have followed many trainings related to pregnancy and birth, breathwork, communication and healing.  Here is a list of the ones most influencing my work. (To read about my personal journey of healing click here).
