    Practice overview

    Hi my name is Nastarsha I am 33 years old, and I love everything there is about the birthing experience! I am a mother of four beautiful children (1 boy and 3 girls), dog mom, loving girlfriend, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. My fourth child was born during the height of the pandemic and for me, nothing was more important than safety, during that unfamiliar time. I remember finding myself seeking alternative options, in order to avoid restrictive hospital policies regarding support people and newborn separation. I had not previously considered home birth or birthing at a birth center, but I felt a strong pull that drew me to midwifery care.  My midwife and birth were amazing, and it cultivated my heart’s desire to help other women understand that they have choices and options as well. Little did I know, I was being “called” to birth work, to offer support to other women, and to help change the vibrations of my community. Every woman deserves to go into the birth experience feeling EMPOWERED instead of fearful! I am here to help.
