Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
My first child was born in a hospital:) I deeply understand the choice to birth in a hospital and I want my families to feel safe and resourced. Birthing in a hospital does not mean we have to be induced or get the epidural if that is not the goal. My job is to advocate, educate, and support mama through the birth journey. I bring aromatherapy, sweet little lights, and my big bag of coping tools to help achieve what mama wants!

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I have served at many birth center births. It is a fantastic middle ground for families not quite ready to fully commit to a home birth but also do not desire a hospital birth. Plus you don't have to worry about a mess;)

Attends home births? Any Home Birth
My second child was born at home! 9lbs in a birth tub in the same living room he now plays with his cars in. I have a tender place in my soul for home births and have worked with several midwives in the area.
