Compassionate, Personal Midwifery Care
Childbearing and childbirth are some of the most transformative experiences of our lives. Our bodies change in unimaginable ways as we prepare to give birth. We learn ways to care for ourselves and honor our process, building trust in our body’s natural ability to birth. Ideally, childbirth reveals our inner strength, empowers us, and weaves our family in a tapestry of deep connection and love.
As a midwife, I am honored to support you and your family through this experience with compassionate, individualized, client-centered care. My role is to support you in self-care practices and techniques to optimize your health and well-being throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. At every stage, I share information allowing you and your partner to make informed choices about your care. Together, we carefully monitor progress through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and recommend appropriate options if challenges arise.
Individualized, client-centered care allows for the integration of the client’s values, preferences, and beliefs, as well as their cultural and spiritual practices. Attending to your emotional and spiritual needs is as important as providing competent medical care. Thus, a collaborative relationship is optimized.
My Philosophy
Far beyond the in-depth education of becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and Licensed Midwife (LM), I have learned at the feet of hundreds of birthing mothers and their families. I have learned how birth weaves a family together and how to hold space for the deep layers of empowered healing that happen on the childbirth journey.
I have also learned traditional midwifery practices in the US, Peru, Chile, Mexico, and India. I have studied multiple branches of Integrative Health, including Herbology, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Craniosacral Therapy, Bodywork, Acupressure, Reflexology, Reiki, Yoga, Chakras, Meditation, and Breathwork.
I focus on nurturing the whole person – mind, body, and soul – and aim to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard and valued. Together, we create a personalized plan to enhance your journey through the childbearing and parenting years.
