About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is safe, non-toxic, gentle, and effective. The potentized, nano remedies that are used in Homeopathy are FDA regulated.
Homeopathy works on the principle that like cures like. A substance that can cause a particular set of symptoms will also remove those same symptoms. For example, an onion causes watery eyes and a runny nose in most people. A common remedy for allergies, with watery eyes and a runny nose, is potenized onion or Allium Cepa.
Homeopathy provides a gentle stimulus that stimulates your body's healing. I like to say that it helps your body get over that speed-bump, or symptom, that it is creating.
Homeopathy flourished during the early 1900's in the United States. It is still widely used today in countries such as France, England, India, Australia, Argentina, and Canada. Homeopathy is so gentle, that pregnant women and infants can benefit from it also.

About Doulas
A doula provides non-medical emotional and physical support to a laboring woman and her partner. A Doula supports the mother during labor to make the experience as fulfilling as possible. Doulas work in any birthing environment; home birth, birth center, and at the hospital.
Studies show that having a Doula while in labor can help create:
- a 50 % lower cesarean rate
- 1.5 hours less labor time
- 70% reduction of Pitocin used
- 35% less epidural rate
Doulas listen to their clients needs and desires and help in any manner possible. I want women to feel protected, honored, respected, and empowered during their labor.

I am also trained to be a Doula at the Mountain Midwifery Center.
