About Me

Mother
Homebirth Midwife
Breastfeeding Counselor
Childbirth Educator
Doula

I'm passionate about informed choice and proactive healthcare. My goal is to be a resource for families wanting to get research-based information on what their options are for home, birth center and hospital births.

I believe strongly that everyone deserves to be respected in their chosen birth space, and well educated on interventions and options so they can make informed decisions for their family.

My midwifery idols are Michel Odent, Henci Goer and Sara Wickham.

My heart and passion are for homebirths. I'm also a strong advocate for unassisted birth.

I love knitting, gardening, listening to music and learning about whole foods and nutrition. I'm always interested in learning about anything related to attachment parenting.

I live in Aumsville with my husband and sweet daughter. We love staying at home bundled up reading, singing, dancing and playing, but can often be found making trips on a whim to the zoo or Whole Foods.

At this time I am enjoying life as a new mama and am not attending any births and have no current plans to return to midwifery anytime in the near future.
