Meet your instructor

Aloha, I’m Zoe. I am a mother of two little ones, childbirth educator, RN, doula and advocate. I have been a nurse in New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Maui and the Big Island with more than 14 years of experience. I’ve worked in the Intensive Care Unit, Labor and Delivery and most recently ER and Long Term Care here in North Kohala. I am honored to have helped over 800 mamas through their labor experience during my years as an L&D nurse and doula.

I’ve always felt my life is meant to give to others. My passion for birth work began when I became a doula with the International Center for Traditional Childbearing. I got involved with an organization called the Birth Attendants, providing pregnancy support to incarcerated women in Washington State. It was there I witnessed the true strength of women and was inspired to become a labor nurse.

I believe supporting women throughout their pregnancies, births and thereafter can change the world. Having the knowledge to make informed decisions about your body and your birth matters. I am enthusiastic about education and I know that educated parents feel better about their birth experiences. I offer practical and evidenced-based approaches to birth in my group and private sessions.

I am happiest when I am playing with my two wild little babies in nature. Friends, sunshine, cooking, yoga and playing in the ocean feed my soul. I'm excited to meet you!
