About Me

I was born in NYC and grew up in NYC, Philadelphia and New England. I moved back to NYC after studying art at the Philadelphia College of Art for 2 yrs. where I met my husband Rolf when I was 20. We have been married for 34 years.  We have 2 sons, Cameron 29, and Tyler 21.  I finished my Bachelor's Degree in 1990 in Hotel Restaurant Management and Food Journalism at the city University of NY. By the time I graduated I'd  had Tyler who had just turned 1 years old. My decision to become a Doula was prompted by my personal childbirth experiences, having had a C-Section due to hospital interventions and then a VBAC 8 years later. My passion is to serve as an inspiration and support to all women during pregnancy and labor and especially for those women who want to achieve a natural vaginal birth after cesarean. I love to travel, walks on the beach, lying on the beach, all kinds of music, good food, cooking, movies, reading, painting, knitting writing, creating, and developing myself to be the best I can be.
