About me

I firmly believe that YOU are, and always should be the person in charge of your birth experience. Your voice should be the most influential in the room, even at a whisper. While society often portrays birth as scary, painful & chaotic, my personal and professional experience has shown that it doesn't have to be that way. Birth should not be something that happens TO you; instead, it can be an eagerly anticipated event where you play an active and eager role. Two people are born anew at each birth and you are one of them. My aim is for you to emerge from this experience feeling self-assured, well-informed, fully-engaged and respected as a crucial part of your care team. I'm here to help you prepare both physically and mentally for childbirth and the profound journey into motherhood. Through thorough prenatal education and preparation, I guide you in understanding the birthing process and shaping your preferences leading up to the big day. I stand as an advocate, ensuring your preferences are effectively communicated before, during, and after the birth of your baby. Leveraging my knowledge and skills, I support the natural physiology of birth. I act as a protector of your space and experience, allowing you to concentrate on the birthing process and embracing the moment of meeting and cherishing your newborn.
