I have been a registered nurse in various specialties for over 35 years, including labor and delivery. I became a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, then completed my HypnoBirthing educator training to broaden my scope of knowledge. I am proud to have recently been accepted and trained as an Evidence Based Birth instructor, which allows me to bring a wealth of important, up to date and well-researched resources to couples. Currently, in addition to my private practice I provide hospital based prenatal classes and assist new families as a Board Certified Lactation Consultant. My mission is to help you discover your untapped strengths and to prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for birth and parenthood.

In my current work with new families, I have seen first-hand that those who have taken time to prepare for this truly transformational journey, have a more positive experience. Our working together is about building a relationship of trust and respect for your needs. I offer 2 class formats: Evidence Based Birth childbirth class and Lamaze childbirth class series. Each provide you with up to date information about what to expect in your birth setting, be well supported and have strategies for managing birth and postpartum. Other class offerings include Breastfeeding, Newborn Care, Comfort for Labor and private, customized classes based on your needs. My mission is to help you discover your untapped strengths and to prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for birth and parenthood.
