CD(DONA), LCCE, CCCE, NBC-HWC

Originally from South Africa, I studied yoga in Los Angeles and after I became certified, I started teaching prenatal yoga in New York City . After being invited by some of my students to attend their births, I became certified as both a doula and a childbirth educator.

I was invited by Erica Lyon, owner of Realbirth, New York City’s first comprehensive childbirth education and postpartum center, to teach Childbirth Education, Newborn Basics and Postpartum Recovery.

As an international Childbirth Educator. I am both Certified through LAMAZE and CEA/MNY, of which I am currently a board member.

I created my Signature workshops; Pushing Power: 2nd Stage Labor & The Pelvic Floor and Birthing Strong: How to enter your birth with confidence and calm.

I have been assisting expecting families in the New York Metro area since 2003 and draw from my vast experience when teaching and assisting my clients.
