Welcome to my practice! I am looking forward to partnering with you to establish a relationship that will address your special needs as a new mother, new father and new family.
Working together is very important because it helps ensure that you will be as healthy as you and your baby can be.
To get us started, here is some information about me:
Originally from France, I moved to San Francisco after having met my American husband in Paris. In 2000, I became a US citizen. We have a daughter who is a pre-med university student.

My philosophy of care focuses on patience as the key element. My support is non-judgmental. My goal is to help the parents develop their own parenting style, which I will encourage and respect. I want to provide skills, reassurance and confidence to families so they can thrive in their new lives.

I am a calm, reassuring, happy person; always prompt, very organized and tidy.

I completed my postpartum doula training with Instructor Tracy Massillon at Natural Resources in April 2012.

So far I have worked with about 20 families, occasionally with twins, sometimes with colicky babies or postpartum depressed mothers. I am very interested in helping solve sleep problems and to help babies learn the skill of self-soothing.

I am CPR certified (Infant, Child and Adult).

All my vaccinations are up to date, my Tuberculosis test is negative and I am Trustline registered.

Away from work, I love to spend time with my family, travel, ski, go to the gym, dance, listen to music, and express my creativity through oil painting or sculpting with clay. I enjoy taking long outdoor walks, visiting the ocean, and spending time with my friends.

I look forward to working with you.
