Originally from California, I have been living in Oaxaca, Mexico since 2005, where I live with my daughter, Luna. In addition to my practice as a parenting coach, I am the co-founder of Queluzca, a conscious parenting project in Oaxaca.

From a very young age, I have wanted to help people and work with children. I began caring for children professionally in both the preschool and home setting at 17 and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development from the University of California in San Diego in 2002.

Since then I have worked with families through volunteer work, and in the nonprofit sector for over 15 years. I am trained by Hand in Hand Parenting and am an avid and ongoing student of all things human.

I founded Healing Parents after seeing how my ability to show up for myself, my family and my community the way I wanted to, would always be connected to my own healing process. I wanted parents with a similar knowing, to feel supported, accompanied and resourced as they do this work of a lifetime.

I am wholly committed to the liberated practice of healing while parenting, and to deepening my understanding of connection-based healing practices.

I am also an enthusiastic student of mystical, contemplative teachings.
