Understanding the stark reality that birth can often be a deeply traumatic experience for many, I found myself drawn to birth work and advocating for the invaluable role of doulas. Recently, my journey has led me to delve deeply into the realm of nutrition and its profound impact on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum health. This exploration ultimately led me to the Aura Institute’s Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner Training, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to empower and optimize birthing bodies from conception to the postpartum period. I am passionate about marrying my love for cooking nutrient-dense, flavorful food with supporting the vessel that carries the miracle of life.

In my free time, you’ll often find me practicing and teaching yoga at my cherished neighborhood studio, or experimenting in my sunlit kitchen in Bushwick… a place I've called home for over a decade.
