​
I am a mother to three and a grandmother to four.   Serving birthing woman has always been important to me and Home Birth Midwifery care is the best manner in which I can effectively give woman a chance of  a safe non-interventive birth.  I have personally experienced both a highly interventive medical birth and a non-interventive holistic gentle birth.  I have  a thirst for knowledge and have earned 2 formal degree's,  the first in Behavioral Sciences: specializing in juvenile delinquency,  the second in Nursing.  

I become an RN and worked in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, Pediatrics and Oncology.  While I personally choose to never formally work within the hospital setting again, I learned valuable lessons and skills in my training and work that I did as an RN.  I find this a valuable asset in those rare opportunities that medical care is needed for my clients,.  I feel comfortable supporting them in this change of setting for their birth.

I began seeking a path to re-educate as a Midwife in 2000 after the birth of my third child.  I began by teaching Childbirth Education, then working as a Doula and later as a Monitrice.  I became a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist specializing in teaching Hypnobirthing.   In 2007 I began to formally study Midwifery taking a couple years to get the didactic book studies  under my belt before beginning a hands on apprenticeship.

In 2009 I began an intense apprenticeship at the Andaluz Water birth center that spanned over a year and a half and over 76 births.  I attended Childbirth International completing their Lactation Consultant program to further my education in supporting families. 

I am Certified as a Craniosacral/Myofascial therapist specializing in mothers and babies.  I acquired training with Carol Gray and have been working for 15+ years treating newborns/infants,  I further continued my education in Craniosacral/Myofascial therapy when attending Massage school in 2019

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and specialize in Prenatal/Postpartum, Infant and Family care massage work. For more information on my Massage and lactation services please visit,
