Welcome ! Most people call me Katie, my middle name is Joy. 

 In 2015, The birth of my daughter ignited a fire in me, to become a birth worker. The journey of becoming a mother and having a daughter has been my greatest teacher in life. I practice traditional teachings in reiki, yoga and meditation and integrate these practices into my work. As an artist, interweaving creativity into everyday life, is medicine to the soul.

​

I'm passionate about continuing to re-learn traditional birth ways, decolonizing birth and reproductive justice. I believe it's essential to support individuals and grass root organizations fighting to end the crisis on maternal health, in this city and country. Please take a moment to visit the resource page to find more information and ways to support, take action and donate. 

​

Birth and death are sacred ceremonies, and my path has led me to hold space for all life's transitions. I believe in inclusivity for all people regardless of your gender, ethnicity, religion or social/economic status. My intention and hope is to help create an "opening" to access all the knowledge, creativity and strengthen that's already deep inside of you!

 

In my free time, I enjoy connecting to Mother Earth, finding peace exploring the many layers to this world. I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY with my family.  I work in surrounding boroughs as a Full spectrum birth worker, reiki practitioner and 

multidisciplinary artist.
