I offer full-spectrum, holistic education and support for the reproductive continuum, with focus on deepening body literacy and hormonal health. I work with people who have the capacity to cycle, inclusive of gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, who want to learn sympto-thermal fertility awareness in order to avoid pregnancy, achieve pregnancy, and/or address cycle challenges and gauge reproductive/hormonal health. I also consult about a range of contraceptive options, abortion (in clinic or at home), and pregnancy, birth and lactation.
I have a background in midwifery and doula work, permaculture and nature education, herbalism and nutrition, and have held certifications as a childbirth and lactation educator. I became certified as a Fertility Awareness Educator in early 2018, and I see clients individually and teach group classes, mostly online. I am deeply committed to supporting reproductive justice and decolonization work in my field and in my community, and I offer a variety of payment options, including a reparations-based sliding scale for BIPOC. I live on Takelma/Cow Creek Umpqua lands in southwestern Oregon, US. Please visit my website to learn more, and get in touch to schedule an introductory call if youβd like to talk.
