ABOUT ME
By the age of 8 I became enamored with infants. There was something so pure and magical about them. They were fascinating. At age 10 I started babysitting and by 14 I had to run it like a true business with over 30 families on my roster. From there I went on to owning and operating an in-home daycare for ages 6 weeks through 3 years. After moving back to my home state of Colorado in 2011, I once more became a full time nanny to several amazing families and watched spectacular newborns grow into pretty incredible young children. My passion for new lives and compassion to support growing families brought me to being a Holistic Newborn Care Specialist, Newborn Nanny and Certified Pediatric Sleep Master Consultant. My scope has also expanded to Craniosacral Therapy for children and parents, as well as, offering a variety of services specifically for parents. Aftermore than 25 years of working with families in their homes I am expanding to online consulting. It is my hope to Connect Families Through Compassion.
​
I also created Sacred Whispers, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Groups because of my own infertility and loss journey. The losses and grieving, I did alone. I kept things to myself. As I began to grow and heal and realize how important community is, I sought out healing with others. I never went through a pregnancy loss group of any kind and I wished I had. When I was ready to finally find one I couldn't find one that felt like home to me. So I decided to create what I wish existed for my own healing. ​
I believe the body has the ability to do incredible things if we give it what it needs. Homeopathy, natural remedies and yoga came into my life in 1996 and I haven't looked back. One of my passions is to share with others how to listen to our bodies and about all the wondrous healing remedies the Earth provides. I do trust that Western medicine has its place and can work in conjunction with the natural world for amazing results. By slowing down, being patient and listening to our mind, body and soul we are capable of great things.
