    Care philosophy

    Every birth is a unique experience and by taking the time to get to know my clients I am able to meet each birthing person where they are in their needs and encourage their decisions. It is my goal to provide continuous care, to affirm your strength, and to show up with ideas, tools and a willingness to go with the flow of each birth as it unfolds.
