People tell you how tired you'll be, but they don't tell you... that you'll be able to survive without much sleep because the simple act of looking at your baby is stirring, gratifying, energizing.
I am passionate about making every birth the best it can be for every woman and her baby, whether that be hospital, birth center, or home.
I believe the first step to better birth is women who are better educated... about their bodies, their incredible abilities, their choices, and the joy of motherhood.
I have been a birth activist and hospital doula for years, and now proudly claim the title of Certified Professional Midwife as well, serving women who choose homebirth.
