I have been married for 26 years. In that time, I have been blessed with 6 daughters and 2 sons. With each child, I experienced very different pregnancies and births.

I have been married for 26 years. In that time, I have been blessed with 6 daughters and 2 sons. With each child, I experienced very different pregnancies and births. My children have been born in a hospital and at home, with an epidural and through unmedicated births, in the water, and through the process of adoption.
Midwifery, in a professional role, has been a large part of my life for more than 10 years. I have learned the definition of “midwife” is derived from two words: mid (meaning with) and wife, (meaning woman). As a Certified Professional Midwife, I desire to reflect that meaning and to be with you during this exciting and wonderful time of pregnancy and birth.
I will walk you through the process and empower you to be confident in trusting your body to do what it was created to do. Whether this is your first baby or your tenth, each pregnancy is an individually unique experience. I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to birth in the environment she chooses, surrounded by loving and capable attendants.
