About Me
I grew up in McKinney and currently live in Greenville, TX with my wonderfully, supportive husband and 4 "littles" of my own! I have always had an innate passion for newborns and was a nanny throughout college specializing in newborn/infant care. My passion then blossomed into a career as a postpartum (mom/baby) RN and my current role as a lactation consultant (IBCLC).
From 2020-2021 I worked for Beyond Pediatric Dentistry as their in office IBCLC and received continuing education addressing the full picture surrounding infant "ties"/oral restrictions. During this time, I was also in close collaboration with an amazing team of bodyworkers at Ke Kino Institute of Healing. It was during this time of collaboration, I started to realize bodywork was just as essential to a mom/baby dyad as any other support. In addition to feedback from clients, I personally experienced the impact bodywork could have on healing and working through trauma after my third child's birth by emergency c-section and his continued battle with feeding issues his first year of life.
Bodywork is able to bridge the gap of mom/baby being stuck in the sympathetic "fight or flight" and bring them in to a more relaxed parasympathetic state where deeper bonding, better feeding, and overall "thriving" can occur. I could not ignore this realization and began to feel called to be a part of the healing.
In November of 2021, I began studying CranioSacral Therapy with The Upledger Institute and now integrate this therapy into my practice as well as other modalities as I continue my studies. In order to ensure the best care of my clients I continue to collaborate & seek mentorship with more experienced therapists and often do dual therapist appointments.
In addition to CranioSacral Therapy for pregnancy, postpartum, and infants, I now also see women of all ages for CranioSacral Therapy at my office in Allen.
