My Philosophy & Practice

I strive to live in service, in love, and in joy on the daily. My belief in birth is grounded in trusting the body’s intuition and protecting the sacred that is often lost amidst the science. Birth is an individual journey and experience that deserves to have space and a unique story. As a midwife, I am called to protect your space to help you feel safe, trusted, supported, and loved as you go on this journey.

Embrace your design.

I believe in your ability to birth naturally, freely, instinctually, and undisturbed. I honor the sacred design of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum. I value the autonomy and preservation of your birth plan, and will strive to accomplish this with you. I serve in humility and am for you.
