Holistic Wellness Guide & Life Doula for Personal Transformation

I’m a Life Doula, Holistic Wellness Mentor, and Reiki Practitioner with over 3 decades supporting individuals and families across emotional well-being, parenting resilience, and life fulfillment. Dedicated to nurturing the nurturers, I use a holistic wraparound approach, fostering resilience, confidence, and joy while reminding people that their internal compass will lead the way to inner peace and family wellness. 

Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, I work with clients both in person and virtually, allowing you to receive support in the way that feels most comfortable and accessible. Whatever challenges, struggles, fears, or frustrations you may be carrying, I believe you already have everything you need within. I’m here to help you uncover it!

My work weaves together mindfulness, emotional regulation, attachment-centered parenting, and holistic wellness to support transformation that feels grounded, embodied, and sustainable.

Who I Support

While many of my clients are mothers and parents, my work serves a wider circle:

A person holding a baby's hand, with the baby sitting on someone's lap, both wearing sweaters.

Parents raising children while navigating life.

A joyful three-generation family embracing and smiling in a cozy home setting.

Parents and grandparents strengthening relationships across generations with adult children and grandchildren.

Individuals moving through seasons of personal growth, healing, and renewal.

If you are longing for more calm, clarity, or alignment in your life, you are welcome here.
