“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.”

As society has gotten more complex, we have lost our intuitive knowledge of childbirth. I view pregnancy and childbirth as natural, normal, healthy parts of a woman's life and believe a woman should be empowered to have the birth she chooses. I view my role as supporting the woman in these choices and think that education is a key to this empowerment. I will provide emotional, physical and informational support to you during the entire birth process. My goals at your birth are that I support you in all your decisions, that you and your baby are healthy, and that you have a positive memory of your day.
