I am an RN and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. I teach Confident Childbirth in groups and privately to expecting parents in the Canton/Akron area.

I am a Certified Professional Midwife, Certified International Midwife, Licensed Midwife, Certified Labor Doula, Certified Lactation Specialist, university educator, published author, and researcher with over 1,000 births attended. I am now mostly retired from midwifery practice and accept repeat midwifery clients only. I am currently accepting new clients for birth support at Summa Health in Akron. Occasionally, I will consider support at another hospital. If you would like to discuss this possibility, please feel free to send me a message here or via my website. I have supported families as a doula for many years, beginning prior to midwifery school and continuing throughout my midwifery career. I bring the knowledge of a midwife and the presence of a doula, walking with you from early pregnancy through those tender first weeks postpartum. I intentionally limit my calendar so that when your labor begins, I am fully rested and able to focus entirely on you. I am a wife, a mother of four, mother-in-law, and a proud grandmother of two. I know firsthand how much this season of life matters, and I would be honored to be part of yours.
