Hello, I am

I’m a licensed midwife, educator, and maternal health advocate with over a decade of experience helping women navigate pregnancy, hospital birth, postpartum, and pregnancy loss with compassion, clarity, and respect. Whether you're birthing at home or in a hospital, my mission is to bring midwifery back to its rightful place—at your side.

WHILE SERVING ALL FAMILIES WITH VIRTUAL SUPPORT AND EDUCATION

Ways i can support you…

  • Midwifery Co-Care for hospital births

  • Mentorship for new parents and birth workers

  • Trauma-informed pregnancy loss and postpartum care

  • Consulting for hospitals and birth centers

  • Public speaking and advocacy on maternal health equity

Why this matters…

Nearly 98% of births in the U.S. happen in hospitals—yet we have some of the worst maternal health outcomes in the developed world. With a 32% cesarean rate, 30% induction rate, and nearly half of women reporting their birth as traumatic, it's clear the system needs to change.

Birth should be sacred—not traumatic. I’m here to help make that a reality.
