The maternal fetal death rate in the U.S. needs to change. I feel that Women/Birthing Humans shouldn't feel scared and/or alone in one of the most vulnerable moments of their life, should they choose to be a mother/parent. That person needs care and advocacy in those moments. I would like to provide that to them. I didn't realize just how much the medical system can fail a person until I had my babies. The idea of that happening to other people fills me with such a burning passion for change that I became a doula. I wanted to do my part to be apart of the change that needs to happen in order to better care for birthing mothers/persons and their babies.

To help you through the process I am trained to help with pain management, words of encouragement, massage, coaching, etc. You name it. And you will be the priority. The doctor or midwife you choose will primarily focus on the safety of your body and the baby coming into this world. Your mental and physical safety, happiness, and comfort is my focus. I am there for you in whatever forms of advocacy and care you find yourself in need of. Baby already has a lot of love and focus on them, I am here exclusively for you in order to make your birth experience as close to the "dream" you wish it to be.

Nutrition is one branch of Attra where I offer Consultation. It is a subject that has been dear to my heart since I could talk. Especially for the past 10 years, anything I could learn about medical care and how to better connect with someone, I devoured with a ferocious need to better myself and my practice.

In school I focused on any area that had to with Health and Science. I received my Associates in Arts. Additionally, I earned my Associates in Science with a concentration on Health Science. I am in my senior year of my Bachelorettes degree for General Studies of Psychology, Nutrition, and Health Science Studies. I plan to immediately follow up with a Masters in Chinese Medicine, so I can be a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. A profession where medicine is conducted by looking at all the pieces of a person. Their mental state, physical state of the body, and their nutrition.

Organizational services rounds out Attra in way that doesn't just assist the mother/parents to be I hope to help, but also expands into any individual who needs a little consistency in their chaotic lives. With these services I hope to help people find personalized systems that work for them and their brain. I have experience helping others find systems that work for them. Systems such as a laundry schedule or building the habit of starting a load each morning. Schedules of any kind in the particular area a person finds themselves in need is possible, laundry is just one example. Another system people may find themselves in need of isn't so much the mental organization a schedule provides, but more so a physical one. I work with a cleaning service that can help a person get things situated where I then come in with the organizing skills. I find that everything having a place, and possibly a label can help more than a person would think. The version of what that would look like depends on the person. It can be as simple as some tape and a sharpie, or as clean cut as a label maker or a printer and laminator. It is completely up to client and what works for them. There is no judgement here at Attra. We are here to help. And these are just a couple ways I have assisted others in the past. Whichever area is in need of love and refinement we are here for.

Attra began as an apothecary of sorts. Apothecary in a literal sense, where I make lotions, sprays, tinctures, amongst other self care items made by hand; But sometimes with a flare. Which is what makes us also a "figurative" Apothecary.

Sparking creativity and valuing self expression can be vital to mental health. So my "abnormal" approach is to kindle that spark and nurture oneself to a flare, and eventually a full on bonfire.

We hope to do this by offering outlets for that creativity and means of expression with custom or stock t-shirts and stickers featuring inspirational and/or funny quotes and phrases.

Or even more personalized items such as keepsakes from experiences ranging from birth to death, and all the moments in between.

Or even Gift/Memorialization needs for such events can also be met if you so choose. (If you dream something up that isn't listed, we take custom request orders; and as long as they're with in our scope of practice we will do our best to accommodate. )
