Are you standing at one of life’s thresholds?
Let’s walk together.
Rite/rīt/ (noun): a transformative passage of life, an event or process that takes you through a hallway of fire, transporting you from one place to another.
Whether you are preparing to birth your baby, or are traversing the coals of another huge life transition, you deserve unwavering support that centers you and your needs unapologetically.
We believe that autonomy and liberation in life, birth, and death is for ALL bodies, and is *especially* important for those bodies that are marginalized by an oppressive society or labeled as “high-risk” by the medical industrial complex.
At Powerhouse Birth we honor deeply your unique experience, because we know you hold your own medicine and truth— in birth, loss, pregnancy release, and beyond.

Pregnancy + Birth companionship that is deeply personal, soulful, and YOU-centered. A sister to reflect with you, ask the meaningful questions, support you in your integration + decision-making, and then witness you with wisdom + skill in your most vulnerable, powerful passage.
One-On-one Sessions (Virtual or In-Person)
Whether you are pregnant and want to do some deep work around food + body, postpartum and want to debrief a difficult birth, or just a person going through a huge life reckoning, I am here to walk beside you as you traverse the Threshold into your new embodiment.
