Bio

It wasn't until after the gentle birth of my daughter in 2009 that I found a passion I didn't know existed: giving laboring women loving and practial birth support and hands-on breastfeeding help. I believe every birth is unique with its own rhythm. Its been my experience that moms truly find themselves in these laboring moments more capable and stronger than they ever imagined they could be. Through our prenatal meetings you will learn things like how breathing through a contraction can help to manage the intensity of labor and how different body positions can facilitate descent of baby and help mom be more comfortable. You will also learn what to expect during each phase of labor, how to know if you are in labor, how breastfeeding works, and what you can expect postpartum. While I cannot promise a pain-free or complication-free delivery, I will be there to encourage and support you. No matter your birth choice, epidural/analgesic or none, natural or cesarean, I am there to support your choices! The birth of your baby is an amazing and unforgettable journey and I would be honored to share in it with you.
