With over 25 years as a Skilled Help Practionioner in multiple industries, my unique skills and training, as well as extensive life experience, are the foundation for my doula-style and trauma-informed approach to coaching and consulting. 

I am a mother and coparent of 9 wonderful young people through adoption, birth, fostercare, and guardianship, so the bonds of family connection and growth are a dear priority to me.

From planning weddings and special events to working in South America with abandoned youth, attending births as a childbirth doula, and serving the foster care and special needs communities as an advocate and mentor, I have extensive experience in walking through major life events with others as a support and guide. These experiences are the foundation of my service as a wellness and life coach, and my focus on family connection and parenting growth through the Flourish consulting process.

What do I mean by “doula-styled” care?
Over the years, I have attended nearly 400 women and their families through pregnancy and birth, coaching through pregnancy and as a certified birth doula. I love the role of partnering with guardian angels, as I call it, to enter into the intimate sacred space of a birth room and serve a woman in labor. I have used that process to form my unique approach toward my services for families.

While working with youth in crisis, foster and adoptive families, and DFCS in the state of Georgia, I have found this foundation to be a powerful approach to supporting family preservation at all levels.
