I know childbirth to be a natural, physiological process inherent to all women.  From the beginning of time, generation-to-generation, women have been the bearers of life.  I believe that with adequate support, women can be empowered to birth their babies the in their own way.  I know that every baby has a right to a safe and peaceful birth, and that every Mother has the right to be truly honored, and cared for with dignity during the labor and birth process.  Birth is a monumental and powerful event for the whole family. 

As a midwife it is my mission to support women and their families to create a birth experience that works for them.  I honor a mother’s intuition and respect it as and integral part of her decision making process.  I am committed to providing the necessary information parents need, to make informed choices about their care, and the care of their newborn.
