“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.”

My Philosophy

Birth is a sacred, transformational journey—a threshold moment that opens the heart, stretches the spirit, and awakens a deep inner knowing. I believe that every birthing person holds innate wisdom, and that your body, your baby, and your intuition are powerful guides. 

My role as your midwife is not to lead, but to walk beside you with presence and reverence. I honor your voice, your choices, and your inner compass. Through mindful preparation of the mind, body, and spirit, we create the foundation for a birth experience that feels safe, empowered, and supported every step of the way.

I believe all families can benefit from midwifery care and I am passionate about making midwifery care accessible to all—regardless of where or how you choose to birth. Whether you choose to welcome your baby at home or in a hospital, my care is grounded in inclusivity, trust, and heart-centered support.

To me, walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is more than a calling—it is truly a labor of love.

Why Midwifery Care?

Midwifery has been the foundation of birth care since the beginning of time. Long before modern medical systems, birth was held through skilled, relational support rooted in trust of the body, physiological birth, and a birthing person’s inner wisdom. Today, the evidence affirms what we have always known: midwifery care saves lives. This holistic, whole-person model centered on individualized, autonomous care is consistently linked to healthier outcomes for both parents and babies, supporting families through continuity, informed choice, and care that honors their values no matter where or how they choose to give birth.
