I was lead to Ayurveda by a deep appreciation for ancient healing practices, and the eternal laws of nature. My independent study of various healing arts began as a path of interest along side my professional life. I had been both a teacher and musician, traveling and performing with my husband as part of a band. Moving from place to place brought us to Northampton, MA, which we have called home for over six years now. A desire to feel deeply satisfied with my profession, and be able to integrate it into my own life and those of my family members led me to pursue Ayurveda as more than a separate interest. I am now the mother of two beautiful boys, and the woman's journey in regards to pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond has become a passionate study. My goal is to support women and families in my community, along with offering consultations and healing therapies to all who seek balance in their health.

In June of 2010, I graduated from the Kripalu School of Ayurveda in Lenox, MA. My experiences during that program honed my practice skills and introduced me to some of the most renowned Ayurvedic Doctors and practitioners in the world. Among them, we were blessed with the instruction of Dr. Rosy Mann, Hilary Garivaltis, Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Sunil Joshi, Dr. David Frawley, Dr. Claudia Welch, Dr. John Douillard, Dr. Partap Chauhan and Scott Blossom. I received my training in postparum from Sacred Window Ayurveda, and Ysha Oakes in Albuquerque, NM, and my birth doula training from Warm Welcome Birth Services, and Michelle L'Esperance in Northampton, MA.

I am humbled by the opportunity to weave the study of Ayurveda into my personal and family life and am dedicated to serving mothers in my community and beyond as they open their lives to the gifts of balance and health and reclaim their births.
