Professional Development
My professional development education is focused on women’s health, childbirth, pregnancy & postpartum care with an emphasis on herbal medicine. In recent years I have been drawn to embodiment practices, nervous system regulation, somatic exercise and polyvagal theory.
I am also a NCCAOM PDA provider (see curriculum vitae below).
