What are my core values?
- You are heard and valued. You have a safe space for your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
- You are not broken or a failure but a whole beautiful human being.
- You have a customized wellness plan that works for you.
- You are given tools to de-stress, relax, and find resilience. It’s unfair to keep hearing “Just Relax” from others without being given any solutions other than take a vacation or just don’t worry about it.
- I believe 100% if you desire to be a parent, you’ll be one. It’s just a matter of how and when.
- If there’s pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care, it’s invaluable to have someone to support you during conception via IVF.
What makes me unique?
- I’m creative. I’ve taught in stirrups before :)
- I love making a sterile clinic and operating room feel safe and inviting.
- I’ve tested and refined best practices for IVF on myself and hundreds of other patients.
- I have the ability to listen and talk about the difficult, the dark, the shameful, and the vulnerable. I’ll also share tools to help you manage these loaded thoughts and emotions.
- I have experience working with a variety of physiological conditions: PCOS, endometriosis, metabolic issues, diabetes, autoimmune disease, etc…
- I’m a blend of methodical and intuitive. We’ll create a wellness plan in a structured but relaxed and playful way.
- I’m a curriculum specialist. I’ve had over 20 years experience in curriculum design.
- I’m calm under stress and pressure. Sometimes a day at the fertility clinic feels like a telenovela!
- I’ve had many collaborative partnerships with the sciences. I performed in a dance company that worked with the Human Genome Project (funded by the MacArthur Award), created a dance with a physicist from Caltech about protein folding (won the Department of Energy Award), and now work as a wellness coach for patients using Assisted Reproductive Technology.
- I’m a balance between East and West. I’ve a deep appreciation for Western Medicine but my background in dance, yoga, meditation, qigong, and tai chi give me an archive of additional tools and perspectives to serve others.
