Restoring Wellness was birthed as I was sifting through my own postpartum journey with my second born. What began as offering wellness consulting bloomed into what it is today.  A safe place for mamas as they sift through the rubble of information, and guidance as they restore their mindsets around pregnancy, birth and wellness. But how did I get here? I’m a doula, herbalist, dabbler in all things alternative medicine, homeschool mama of 2, living this crazy life and serving clients all over Hampton Roads, VA. I've been in the alternative medicine world for over a decade. I've loved working with the body and herbs for as long as I can remember. In 2014 I began studying to gain my Master Herbalist Certification. Along the journey, I stumbled into the birth worker community and was immediately taken in.

As a  C-section baby myself and surrounded by similar birth stories, I was blown away, and motivated by these stories of women breathing their babies out. AND feeling empowered enough to buck the system. I devoured books on birth and was honored to witness my first birth in 2017…I was hooked. I kept learning while working other jobs and struggling with my own fertility issues and loss. At last, in 2019 I had the honor of delivering our son after a planned homebirth ended in a hospital transfer. My labor was everything I wanted and our hospital birth and stay taught me so much about how to advocate for myself. In 2020 I was able to give birth to our daughter at home and climb right into bed afterward. My births grew me and my passion for women being supported during pregnancy birth and beyond....AND

Being a mom in the alternative medicine world shifted my perspective. It wasn't until I became a mom that I realized the pursuit of wellness, can often lead to illness. All the info can drain away your confidence and ability to make intuitive decisions, leaving you stressed and discouraged. It doesn't have to be like this. So let's ditch the stress and I'll provide steady support as you begin a path of restoration.
