It has been my great pleasure to have been involved with women’s health care for the last twenty years.  As a younger woman, I worked in reproductive health counseling, and provided social and mental health services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. 

I then returned to nursing school, became a nurse practitioner, and worked in a community health center in Boston providing comprehensive women’s health care.  During that time I also had a private doula/lactation consulting business and taught childbirth education. 

In 2002, I returned to school to complete my post-master’s certificate in Nurse-Midwifery, and I have been working in Cambridge ever since.  Along the way I had two amazing children, learned Spanish and Portuguese, and have been blessed to attend the births of hundreds of women.
