About

I initially came to care work through my training in the Fertility Awareness Method and have taught hundreds of individuals how to track their ovulation and better understand their menstrual cycles. This work sparked my curiosity around pregnancy (and it’s many outcomes) and I trained as a full spectrum doula. I’ve supported individuals & families through 100+ pregnancies and have witnessed many different types of experiences, including: hospital birth, home birth, high risk pregnancies, inductions, planned & unplanned cesareans, miscarriages, medication & in-clinic abortions, navigating the medical system as a pregnant trans / non-binary person, and pregnancy loss (to name a few).

My work as a fertility educator & doula got me curious about other systems in the body—specifically the nervous system. I found TRE (Tension / Trauma Release Exercises) through my own experience with anxiety and trained as a TRE Provider and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I’m particularly interested in working with people who have experienced birth or other medical trauma as well as people who work within the medical system, but I also believe that anyone who is curious about connecting with their body can benefit from these tools.

In addition to birth work & somatic work, I am also an educator & writer and have made dozens of zines (pronounced “zeens”)—handmade, self published booklets on body-related topics. I love to make complicated topics easily digestible & fun for my students and clients.

My work is gender expansive & trauma-informed—in addition to these important frameworks I also try to bring humor, compassion, spirituality, and an awareness of current events to the work I do. When I’m not working I enjoy sitting at coffee shops, biking around Madison, watching movies with my partner, eating delicious food, hanging with my neighbors, sleeping late, futzing around my 100 year old house, and snuggling with my furry friends.
