It's been almost a year since I've posted. Life has been full of introspection, self reflection, and evolution. Personally, professionally, and spiritually. My family is healthy and thriving, the business is full and inspiring- my community service endeavors are heart felt and our bellies are full. I am surrounded by everything I will ever need and that makes me feel both grateful and guilty.

I'm worried about a lot. Everything feels fleeting and precarious. I have a sense of urgency and at the same time I feel like moving in slow motion so as to not miss anything. My heart is heavy with mourning for the world on all levels. I'm also the happiest I've been in a while.

So, in a rare moment of having no obligation, the beach. My happy place. And here, I'm reminded that some people love the feeling of sand on their skin, and some don't.

I'm sincerely sending love to anybody that needs it. Keep breathing 🩷

This was a hard one. It was surreal seeing so many faces that make up this incredible birth community and lots of former clients and their sweet babies- all of us happy to see one another but devastated it was under these conditions. The incredible space that these Wifey's built in pieces and all of us taking bits of it to Love and Remember- a token of the space that means the world to us. There is a lot to grieve.

Gratitude runs deep in my soul for these women and those walls as I truly feel a chapter of my life was born there too.

Love you (my teacher, my mentor) (my greatest cheerleader), (even though you said you wouldn't read my sappy post) and (because you know damn well that you would have been in this picture if you were still there).

Sometimes it's just sitting close by.
To hold the space.
To breathe with them and to remind her that
All is as it should be.

I like to think that sitting close by holds more weight than we realize.

Build your Team.

Becoming a Board Member for The Birth Network of Monterey this year has taught me so many things. I continue to meet incredible people in our community -- and when I say "incredible" I mean, these folx are HEALERS, ADVOCATES and ACTIVISTS who are PASSIONATE, BRILLIANT, DEDICATED, and full of LOVE for what they do.

I arrived here at the hands of those that welcomed me from the very start, when I just hit the birth scene in Monterey five years ago. With open arms and a willingness to teach, they've mentored and supported me. I continue to learn, and work hard, and find my voice in this incredible field of birth work and I am full of gratitude and honor to be in this place.

Our last Meet the Doula of the year is this Sunday at 4p. Head over to the to register if you are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant to learn about what this whole "doula" thing is about, and maybe even find one that fits your family.

Starting Monday with a heart full of gratitude feels nice.

Getting a little personal this morning -- I try to keep it all business here, but the reality is that I am my business, and so, this is a part of it. Grief is funny-- it's creeping in today, even after his death 31years ago.

Today would have been my Dad's 80th birthday. He died while at work, flying a plane that crashed in Andrew Molera State Park in Big Sur. He loved what he did so much... Earlier that year for my 9th birthday, he took me up for my first flight lesson. I'll never forget how excited he was to show me what he was so passionate about. He was 49 years old.

I'm pretty sure this is the last picture we took together.

Hold your people close today folks. The bubbles of sadness and the "what if's" are keen reminders for me today to not let the little things hold too much weight. I'm going to let myself feel this today.

Sending love out to all of you 💗

I've never considered myself as one who has a passion for cooking. I do love nourishing my family, however, and I REALLY REALLY love knowing that what I'm cooking is going to nourish a new and growing family.
