I have happily been helping women and families have a healthy, stress-free, informed and enjoyable pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience for the past 30 years.  

My journey began at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem where I received my undergraduate degree in clinical nutrition. After moving to the USA I worked as a nutritionist at Atlanta Medical Center until the birth of my twins in 1990.  My desire to be a stay at home mom, combined with my enthusiasm for studying and continuing to work in a healing field, led to my next adventure in life – an extensive study of yoga. Following the tradition of T.K.V Desikachar, I have been a certified yoga, and post partum yoga teacher at Emory University, the Goizueta Business School, and the Pierce Program in Atlanta for the past 30 years.  

During this period, I developed a great passion toward pregnancy, birth and parenthood. My prenatal classes have evolved into a combination of pregnancy yoga, breath work and childbirth education.  

I proceeded to get my DONA Doula Certification - CD(DONA), to better serve my yoga students as well as other moms, to complete this amazing 9 months journey with me supporting them at their birth.  

I am honored to be a part of this sacred time in a mother/couple’s life and I strive to help each one to have the birth experience that they desire - offering encouragement, advice and assistance while honoring their wishes.  

As I have witnessed time and time again the miraculous journey of pregnancy that, with its culmination, brings the birth or growth of a family, I am reminded of the great value of labor support. Supporting a mother and her partner and allowing them to connect on such an intimate level reaffirms my role; working together as a team, trying new things and always following mom’s lead in this birth dance.  

I am continually awed by a mother’s maternal wisdom when given the opportunity, the support and the tools to make the right decisions for her birth and her baby, and always honored and humbled to be a part of the experience.
