I offer a holistic approach to childbirth education that may be very different than many other approaches. My style is individualized to every client, meeting them where they are at in their experience of pregnancy and the postpartum period. This time for an individual or parent can bring up a variety of emotions. My hope is to help guide parents in exploring the many ways of coping during birth in a safe and inclusive space, as well as introducing childbirth preparation in a unique way.

My classes draw from the model of Birthing From Within™, which is the holistic childbirth education approach originally created by Pam England. This approach helps prevent birth trauma by guiding parents through birth as a heroic journey.  This approach celebrates birth as a rite of passage and   offers to inspire personal growth and create new ways for parents to see themselves and others.

Dancing for Birth™ is a fusion of childbirth preparation and pre/post natal fitness. Created by Stephanie Larson, this class offers parents ways to learn new skills for coping during  birth as well as learning moves that are inspired by world dance.

Created by Pam England, Birth Story Medicine® ​ provides parents a private, confidential and individual one hour session to focus on healing from a traumatic experience related to birth. I offer sessions, by phone, video conference and in-person.

​“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.” – Marcie Macari

​I was originally trained  through DONA as a doula in 2005. My calling to this work was inspired by supporting individuals in my family. While supporting family members during their births I felt there was an absolute need in supporting birthing individuals in a variety of birth setting.  Although I am not a parent myself I believe in my ability to offer deep compassion and non-judgmental support. I bring my own unique calm sensibility to every birth I attend. I am currently the childbirth educator at North Houston Birth Center.

For individuals wanting to encapsulate their placenta, I offer individuals birthing in  either hospital or out hospital setting, services of encapsulation as well as  help in guiding them through processing it on their own if they prefer. I guide individuals in understanding the potential benefits of placenta encapsulation along with being available to answer  common questions and concerns.  For many individuals, placenta encapsulation can help in a quicker recovery and potentially lower the risk of having postpartum depression along with a host of other positive effects.

​I have loved and am grateful for the opportunity to support and guide many individuals and parents through their births and their preparations of birth. My biggest goal when supporting an individual is to meet them where they are and support them without judgement and offer them compassion through their experience.
