“Helping the laboring woman to have a safe, healthy and satisfying birth experience by providing physical, emotional and educational support through pregnancy, labor and post partum.”

My philosophy is that a woman should be able to birth her baby with support and encouragement in a place she feels safe. There is no right or wrong way to birth a child, but there are many ways to ensure that a woman, with her family, feels empowered and in control of what she is experiencing. I strive to support each woman to find her own unique pathway for birthing her baby and to maintain a calm, peaceful birth environment. Birth is an empowering positive experience for a laboring mom when she is surrounded with loving, gentle, encouraging support of another woman, her confidence in her ability to birth is increased and her birthing experience is enhanced.
