The wisest providers I know agree unanimously on one thing: There is no one-size-fits-all protocol for birth, and they don't enter a birth space convinced that they're going to control your birth to get the outcome they want. We're just along with you for the ride.

Whether you're open-minded to an out-of-hospital birth at home or in a birth center, prefer a more intimate community hospital setting with access to nearby NICU facilities, or have an obstetrician you love at one of our major hospitals, we'll weave top-notch midwifery model care into your birth plan. I'll advocate for you, and stand by your side, in whatever birth space you choose.

I’m a great mix of trusting that sometimes interventions are necessary (medically or emotionally), while also believing it’s no coincidence that my Chiron is in Cancer in the 10th house. Whether you lean to the scientific or the more crunchy and traditional side of things, we’ll talk extensively about your options in the way that best aligns with your preferences, values, and intuition.

Don't leave it up to your partner and his iPhone 12. I'll capture the details of your birth, and show you an outside perspective of the most powerful transition of your life.

I strive to capture your true inner beauty, power, courage, and resilience.

Our generation of parents is accustomed to slipping through the cracks and being told that expecting bare minimum support is still asking for too much. We need community now more than ever - especially as we bring new life into the world, and undergo such a significant life change. Each of my birth services includes a postpartum well-check and birth processing session, but I'm also now offering postpartum doula care in the daytime and evening hours, and can refer you to overnight doula support.

Proactive postpartum care planning is like putting on a life jacket before paddling out in the ocean - it's critical to ensuring you have the support you and baby need before you're sucked into a current. In my experience, moms with pre-existing trauma are more likely to experience challenges with postpartum mental illness, especially if they don't have a proactive plan in place for postpartum support.

It's okay to struggle. It's normal. When I say "I've been there," I mean my last pregnancy was one long panic attack. And what made it worse was how alone I felt through that experience. And we need to destigmatize it. As a certified victim advocate, sexual assault survivor, C-PTSD warrior, EMDR success story, and someone finally seeing the light at the end of a severe 7-year postpartum depression & anxiety tunnel, you can trust that I've got your back.

If bodily trust is something you struggle with, this will be an active part of our prenatal birth work. Your birth will be a much better experience when your mind feels safe to succumb to your body. If you want an empowering birth, preparation should begin with processing and accepting your fears.

Doula and Midwifery care is service-based, not results-based. Medical interventions & emergency c-sections are an unfortunate necessity sometimes. I can't prevent outcomes you don't want, but I can inform you of your options along the way, support you through them, and process it with you afterward.

Humor is an incredibly powerful coping mechanism to cope with stress and pain, and I fully believe it has earned the right to be present in the birth space too. "Siri, play Shake Ya Ass by Mystikal."
