About Me
I came to this work after the birth of my two children. While pregnant, I was consumed by curiosity: curiosity about anatomy and physiology, the medical model of birth, and the transformative quality of the birth experience. That curiosity translated into lots of reading, research and discussion with people in the birth community. I looked forward to the prenatal visits with my midwives and my childbirth education classes -just to be in the room with other people who believed in the power of this process. Shortly after the birth of my daughter I began the program to become certified as a childbirth educator. Up to that point, upon graduation from Brown University, I had been teaching theatre in the public schools, performing with an experimental theatre company, and finishing a Master's in playwriting from NYU. I am now a certified childbirth educator through CEA/MNY and a certified labor support doula through DONA. I have served as secretary on the board of CEA/MNY, and in addition to teaching classes privately, I also teach at Power of Birth. It is so nice to be able to say that I truly enjoy my work; I love what I do.
