About me

Your baby’s birth is a unique and sacred experience that deserves to be treated as such. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and advocated for in your birthing experience, and making these goals come to life is my top priority. In today’s age of information-overload, decision making can be difficult without a partner to help. My practices are evidence based and guided by what your intuition tells us is best for you and your baby. From me, you will receive physical and emotional support as well as knowledge and evidence based resources. I am deeply honored to assist with every birth I participate in, and am hopeful to be a resource to you as well.
