My Education and Work Experience.

I have practiced midwifery in Toronto and surrounding areas for over a decade; supporting over a thousand birthing women/persons and their families throughout their prenatal care, labour and birth, and early postpartum period. It was also an honor to have had the recent opportunity to work as a Contract lecturer in the Midwifery Education Program at Metropolitan University. I held a certification as an IBCLB (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant) for 5 years from 2013-2018. I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery from Ryerson University, a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honors in Dance from York University, and am a 500+ hours Certified Yoga Teacher/Yoga Therapist through the Yoga Sanctuary Toronto.

I have taught Yoga privately and publicly for over 15 years. My focus has been in Hatha Yoga, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra. My areas of expertise for private sessions are working with pre/post natal related issues, birth trauma support, chronic pain and fatigue, anxiety and depression.

For the last four years I have worked as a pre & postpartum doula and coach; supporting new parents to find their own authentic voice as mothers/fathers and nurture their baby with attunement and confidence.

I have successfully completed almost four years of graduate level psychodynamic psychotherapy training at the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy Toronto, and am currently a participant in the clinical phase of the program working as a Therapist in Training (CTP-TT). This training is enabling me to offer a breadth of knowledge on secure parent/infant attachment, neuro-psychological growth in infants, postpartum maternal mental health, and healing from trauma.

I make great attempts to create safety by consciously working from an intersectional, anti-racist, anti-oppression, and Feminist lens. The personal realm inherently involves our social, cultural, and ancestral parts.

I further acknowledge that the land I reside on is the traditional and unceded territory of many nations including the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit.
