About

Bio

I am encouraging, pragmatic, always up-to-date and at-the-ready to guide you through the preparation of a positive birth, postpartum and lactation experience for you and your growing family. I can typically find an easy way to relate everything back to birth + lactation and will be a sincere + honest source about the ups and downs of parenthood. Since I've began my work as a birth worker,
​I have supported over 4,500 families from pregnancy to birth to lactation, and worked in every hospital + independent birth center in the Twin Cities area.
In my work, I will fall back onto my full belief that YOU ARE THE BEST PARENT FOR YOUR BABY. I will fully support your wishes along with facilitating conversations to provide evidence-based information to build your confidence as a parent. We were never created to do this alone. My intention is to truly work alongside you, to nurture + guide you through the many options into parenthood.
