About me

Do you know how amazing you are? I want you to know you're amazing. You can totally handle birth. I'm happy to support you with shame-free personalized nutrition counseling, prenatal care that is actually helpful, birth support based on YOUR preferences, and postpartum care that doesn't leave you feeling abandoned. I'm a music teacher turned midwife after firing my doctors when they failed to meet my needs, again. After 2 c-sections for being "too small", I had 5 amazing home births. I'm here so other women with prior c-sections have access to a safe and knowledgeable VBAC provider, and so all women can birth in their power.

Packages
Doula
I can support you as you give birth at home or in the hospital. Emphasis on non-medical physical and emotional support, birth planning, education, and advocacy. Call for latest prices as they may be different than listed here.
$850.00
USD Flat rate
Monatrice
Want the benefits of midwifery care but can't/don't want a home birth? I can't catch your baby in the hospital, but as a monatrice I can provide all the same prenatal and postpartum care, just as you would receive if I were your midwife. During early labor I can monitor you and your baby at home until it's time for you to go to your chosen birth place. Once we arrive in the hospital in labor, I function as a birth doula and will no longer offer any clinical support. Then once you get home, we resume normal midwifery-style care. This package requires concurrent care with a doctor. If I end up catching your baby under this package, I will insist your baby be checked out at the hospital immediately and will ask for my full midwife fee. Call for latest prices as they may be different than listed here.

Encapsulation of your own placenta processed either in your home or mine. Includes a tincture if you want one, and a cord keepsake if desired.
