I'm Gina (she/her), and I am passionate about supporting lifelong learning.

As a birth doula, I guide your journey through labor and delivery with compassion.

As an early learning coach and consultant, I bring best practices to support your vision of raising happy, healthy children.

As a speech/language therapist, I collaborate with you to meet your priorities and goals.  

What an privilege to share this magical window in your journey, where we can "honor the space between no longer and not yet."  

Thank you for visiting, and for taking steps to build your village around your growing family.   

Our children, our dreams, and our health are among the most precious valuables in the universe, to say the least. 

I am incredibly fortunate to have built a vocation in the world of infants and toddlers since 2003, by practicing "old fashioned" house calls and home visits into the community where I've raised my own children.  

Celebrating first babbles, gestures, signs, and words never get old as a speech & language therapist. 

Neither does discovering how our children's and our own neurotypes and sensory systems influence how we learn and interact with the world.

What an honor to be able to bring all the treasures of what I have learned back to the moments surrounding birth.  

Maybe even your family's birth.  Bearing witness, offering comfort, nurturing your courage, amplifying your voice, and holding your journey.

It is important to me to be part of building an authentic support system around what is most central to our being, and most crucial to our humanity.

As we experience an ever-increasing amount of collective trauma, isolation and pressure from our society, it is imperative to remain true to what helps us both resist and thrive:  connection and community.   

For many of us, extended family, extra time, and adequate resources are not as accessible as they should be, (and often used to be), especially to raise children, and especially those with disabilities or differences in development.  SO many of the systems we created with intent to help, are in fact dehumanizing.

Though our proverbial village may be shifting, our babies' core needs have not.

And if caregivers are to meet their needs, then those same needs have to be met for the caregiver. 

Think to a time when you've felt seen, heard, and accepted.  

These memories may be common for some, and for others they may have come after years of hard inner and outer work to build relationships that are healthy while healing a lifetime of experiences, systemic racism, sexism, or ableism that have made us feel the opposite.

Relationships - with ourselves, one another, and with our community - are the active ingredient in healing. 

My role in this Collective Healing is that I can bring experience, expertise, and energy, to offer guidance through Relationship, from before the first breath all the way to confident and clear communication.
