I am passionate about my work and am dedicated to all my clients' healing and fulfillment. I am down to earth and sensitive. I enjoy my clients and “go the extra mile” for them.

I experienced almost a decade of infertility and wished there had been more support and resources available. I delight in helping my infertility clients bring their children home. I believe that anyone who truly wants to be a parent, can accomplish that goal.

I love to travel, bike, read, and cook. I enjoy the movies, opera, theater and traveling with my family, friends, and church community. I also like spending time with my dog Cocoa and cat Sheegwa.
