Want to know more about my educational background?

I have a formal background in Early Childhood Education, and worked locally as a pre-kindergarten teacher.

I currently volunteer at our local pregnancy center as a client advocate, where we are constantly expanding our client advocate trainings.

Someday soon I hope to add certifications in herbal medicine. For now, all of my knowledge comes from books and trial/error within my personal family. This really limits what I offer to postpartum bath soaks and botanicals within my scope as a Placenta Encapsulator. For my favorite herbal remedies please feel free to ask for my ever-expanding list!
