Philosophy
I believe:
That pregnancy is a healthy, normal state of being.
That women are perfectly designed to give birth to their babies.
That all women are entitled to unbiased, evidence-based information regarding pregnancy and childbirth...
I know:
That it is an honor and privilege to be wtih women and families during this incredibly important time
That regardless of the role I play in a woman's journey into motherhood, I strive to be nuturing, compassionate and calming presence...
That I rely on education and experience to help guide and empower my clients, while always maintaining respect for their instincts and for the birth process...
I trust:
Women. I trust that women are intelligent and capable of being responsible for making competent decisions about their bodies and births.
Babies. I trust that babies know how to be born safely, and help facilitate the birth process.
Birth. I trust that pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy states of being, and that midwives and mothers can form relationships built on love, education, and trust to protect the sanctity of this amazing time.
I serve:
