I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.

As a NARM Certified Professional Midwife, it's my great honor to serve families in their childbearing seasons. I commit to take part in discovering your individual needs so that the care you receive will be well tailored to fit your circumstances and preferences.
Shelly cared for me during my pregnancy and birth. She offered her knowledge, support, and love in the times I needed it most. If there was a specific question I had that she wasn’t absolutely sure about, she took time to research and learn everything she could about it. I felt heard, seen, and cared for every time we interacted. She was a safe person during my labor and birth and having her with us was a blessing! This line of work is truly her calling and you can tell she has her entire heart in it. We’ve stayed in contact since my birth, and I’m so thankful to have had her part of my team. I will always recommend Shelly, she’s more than a midwife, she’s a friend.

Shelly attended the birth of my 4th baby and I could not have had a better experience. She was thorough and amazing at prenatal appointments but my birth with her was everything! Shelly was such a calm and confident presence for me. She was as hands on or off as I needed her to be. She was very encouraging and made me feel so safe and at peace. I cannot recommend her enough and I absolutely would use her again!
