I am passionate about education and preparation. I want to hear your hopes and also help you prepare for multiple possible outcomes. It is important to me that you understand your options and feel empowered and supported in your decisions.

I believe in controlling what we can control, setting ourselves up for success, asking questions, and being prepared for the possible turns that birth can take. Most of all, I believe in the strength, power, and abilities of women to bring souls into the world. You are stronger than you even know.

Though I struggled with eating, I lifted weights my entire pregnancy and had a very empowering unmedicated first birth in April 2022 with a midwife at a birth center.

If you are interested in: taking physical care of yourself during pregnancy, learning about your options in birth, preparing with a birth class and reading, and visualizing how you want your birth to go—I might be a good fit for you.
