A Journey of Intentional Living and Family Wellness
Hello, and welcome! I’m thrilled to have you here as we explore the many facets of intentional living, parenting, and family wellness. Over the past two decades, my journey has been shaped by diverse experiences in early childhood education, childbirth support, and community engagement. I’m excited to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gained with you.
A Diverse Background in Education and Wellness
My career began in finance as a stockbroker, where I learned invaluable skills in the business world. Yet, my true passion and calling had always been working with children and families. In 2001, I returned to university to pursue postgraduate work in early childhood education and academic administration, a decision that would reshape my path.
My career in early childhood education led me to direct childcare centers for La Petite and Bright Horizons. Leading teams to deliver high-quality developmental programs was both challenging and rewarding. This experience taught me the importance of structured yet nurturing environments for young children and how effective leadership can inspire educators and families to thrive.
Recognizing a need for more culturally tailored education, I founded a bilingual immersion school for German-speaking families. It combined my personal heritage with my passion for innovative education. Watching children connect with their culture in a purpose-built educational setting was incredibly fulfilling.
Expanding into Childbirth Support
My commitment to family wellness naturally expanded into childbirth support. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with more than 3,000 families worldwide, providing education and support during one of life’s most transformative experiences. My goal has always been to offer compassionate, personalized care, regardless of circumstances.
Through various certifications—birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and midwifery assistant—I’ve continually honed my skills. Whether supporting families during routine births or in challenging environments like natural disasters, my dedication to excellence has remained unwavering.
