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.
