Let’s Get Personal! Hello & Welcome

MOM OF 18

“Parenting since 1992” as well as nearly a year of infertility, 3 miscarriages, 1 hospital birth, and 3 home births taught me a tremendous amount.

I breastfed 7 children, including 3 of my adopted babies – for 11 years in total, relactating for two of them, and have had extensive foster parenting experience.

I spent 15 years as a foster parent, as well as a trainer. I also have 12 years experience as a breastfeeding counselor, 5 of those as an IBCLC, and was blessed to spend 7 years off and on as a birth assistant for a midwifery practice in Alaska, and have done doula work in Northern Nevada since 2021.

I have a huge blended family and, in 2016, suffered the loss of an adult son.

I was a stay-at-home Mom for over a decade, I spent another decade post-divorce as a Mom working in the corporate world trying to balance it all, and finally, I became an Entrepreneurial Mom – and feel blessed I was able to go back to a career I love serving women in Maternal Health making a difference in the lives of others. 

I am grateful to have parented and amalgam of kids from everywhere – 4 biological children, 6 adoptions, 2 long-term foster children, 5 stepchildren, and a foreign exchange student.

It. Is. Awesome. And hard. And worth it.

Finding Balance

I’ve been active in many ways, from running to fitness competitions, and pushing myself in a gym.

Learning a healthy balance of self-care, staying active, and giving to others is a challenge at times, and exercise has been an important aspect of my life so I can show up as the best version of myself.

I’ve learned that less is more, and I embrace a more minimalist lifestyle and even downsized enough to have lived full-time in an RV for 3.5 years – which was an enlightening journey.

I’ve been blessed to have taken things I love – raising powerful humans, being a healthy lifestyle enthusiast, and having a desire to give back to women through Maternal Health, and I’ve created a life I love.
