For as long as I can remember, I have been inspired by the vast, mysterious, and powerful feminine forces of the moon (luna) and the ocean (mar). Birth is as powerful as a tsunami wave, as mysterious and unknowable as the depths of the ocean, as enchanting and illuminating as the full moon. That inspiration guided me through the births of my own two children, and now, through my work as Lunamar Birth Well LLC.

After a decade of being a K-12 educator, I am prepared to bring my teaching expertise to a new population: birthing families. I feel called to empower and educate a new generation of mothers and parents to connect deeply with their bodies, trust their intuition, and navigate the perinatal time with knowledge, confidence, and ease.

I believe that birth and motherhood are individual and nuanced journeys, and rather than preach that there is one “right way” to give birth or to mother, I seek to help parents find a path that feels meaningful, safe, and grounded in trust and knowing. Furthermore, birth isn’t just about the arrival of a baby. Preparing for the birth of yourself as a mother or parent is an essential, and often overlooked, part of preparing for this life-and-soul-changing time. Bolstered by the theories of matrescence, matricentric feminism, and patriarchal motherhood, I encourage my clients to find themselves with resilience and courage in the rough landscape of 21st century motherhood.

Through my class offerings I hope you will find the courage, strength, and power to birth not only your baby, but a new, wiser, more powerful version of yourself.
