I am an wife to a Soldier and mom to 2 little ones!  April of 2011 Monarch Midwifery helped welcome my son to the world with the most amazing home birth, and I'm thrilled to be apart of the team and help mothers feel as loved and empowered as they have made me feel.

I have been a Massage Therapist for 12 years.  I have practiced in Chiropractic offices, Ski resorts, had my own practice, and was the lead Massage Therapist at a 5 star spa in La Jolla, CA.  I specialize in Prenatal Massage, Deep Tissue, sports massage, Abyanga Massage, Shiatsu, Stone Massage, and trigger point therapy.

After the birth of my first born i decided to study to become a Doula, and to use my gift and trade of Massage Therapy to help mamas in labor.  I'm currently studying through Childbirth International and should be done with my certification by the end of the summer 2011.

I'm a photographer, and recently switched my focus from industrial and architectural  photography, to family and birth photography.  To be able to help you capture priceless moments is truly a gift, and i couldn't be more happy about being able to offer it to the mothers of Fayetteville.

I began researching Placenta Encapsulation after the birth of my first child when i struggled with sever baby blues.  After my second child was born I got to experience the amazing benefits of it!  The difference was amazing.  My milk came in 2 days faster, I had no anxiety or weepiness at all, and about a half hour after taking a pill I would feel so calm and peaceful.  Being an Army wife and living on post i see the struggles woman go through postpartum..especially when their partner is deployed.  Knowing the benefits of Encapsulation and being able to help mothers gives me so much joy!
