I have walked many paths during my time in birthwork, each one enriching my knowledge and deepening my commitment to serving women and families. I’m incredibly grateful for the mentors, teachers, and mothers who have shared their wisdom with me, shaping both my practice and my philosophy around birth. Over the years, I’ve developed an unwavering confidence in the natural process of birth — especially when it’s honored, respected, and left undisturbed.

At 20 years old, I felt a powerful calling to become a homebirth midwife. At the time, the only path I knew was to become a Certified Nurse Midwife, so I enrolled in nursing school, determined to pursue my mission no matter what it took. While I loved learning about the intricacies of the human body, I quickly became disillusioned with the contradictions I encountered in conventional medical training. Questioning misinformation often led to pushback from my teachers, which continued to challenge my trust in the medical system.

Everything changed when I met a local midwife (thanks to my husband!) who showed me there were other paths to midwifery — ones that aligned more closely with my values. I began my apprenticeship to become a Certified Professional Midwife, and for the next three years, I trained alongside experienced midwives, soaking in all the knowledge and hands-on experience I could.

I worked as a nurse at night, attended prenatal visits by day, and supported multiple births each month as both a doula and assistant midwife. I’ve had the honor of attending births in homes, birth centers, and hospitals — including twin births, breech presentations, VBACs, cesareans, and completely undisturbed physiological births. Each experience has reaffirmed my belief in the sacred power of birth and in the strength and wisdom of birthing women.

After freebirthing my own two beautiful children, I have shifted my practice. These days, I attend fewer births in person and mainly support women in my community as a coach and doula. I love supporting women as they prepare for pregnancy, plan their births, and during postpartum.
