I am a solo practice Certified Nurse Midwife with over 10 years of experience attending births in various settings in the Chicago area -- half of my midwifery career in several different types of hospitals; and the other half in home birth and at a free-standing birth center. My passion is to provide individualized, holistic, trauma-informed care to individuals and families seeking personal, loving support on their pregnancy, birth, and reproductive wellness journeys. Clients in my care will note that I am very knowledgable, warm, confident, and offer my service in the spirit of partnership with my clients. Anti-oppression is very important to me, and clients will find that my practice is inclusive, aware of the impact of social issues on health outcomes, and that I embrace a Health at Every Size approach. Additionally, my co-owner is a traditional birth worker who offers all of our clients the option of hiring her for individualized Birth Mentorship, as well as provides all home birth clients a postpartum closing. Her herbal products are also included in the birth kit, for a well-supported postpartum.

I offer comprehensive midwifery care across the reproductive lifespan -- from adolescence, to preconception health or reproductive life planning, to well person care, to menopause; and my specialty is offering my care for clients seeking home birth midwifery. I see clients for hour-long office visits for any of my services; and provide loving, evidence-based, and holistic support during labor, birth, and the postpartum. Additionally, I offer in-home intrauterine insemination (IUI) to clients seeking to build and grow their families using donor sperm.
