Today...I'm my own guest, and I wanted to share a bit about my personal story and the inspiration behind my work. Starting out in emergency medicine in New York City, I eventually moved into family centered care. From personal experience and unanswered questions, I have always been driven by a deep discomfort with the lack of choice and context many people are given during pregnancy and birth. From podcasts, documentaries, and courses to founding a wellness practice and a growing media platform, I've designed offerings with the goal of helping people make informed, empowered choices.
