I am many things; a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a midwife. I am also a lover of nature. When I am not seeing clients or at a birth you can find me camping in the woods, swimming in a lake, or simply sitting outside with my wife watching our son play. My other true love is midwifery. I was called to this work by a passion for meeting people where they are, sitting with them in that, and supporting them in their desires, even in one of life's most beautiful but challenging moments. I have attended over 100 births and look forward to having to opportunity to attend many more.
