Birth is as unique as the individual. My philosophy of care reflects my dedication to safeguarding the childbearing process and personalizing it. I encourage you to trust your own instincts, seek solid information, and make valuable informed decisions during this profound experience of your life. Having a baby is a safe, natural and healthy life process with an opportunity for empowerment. It is a priviledge and honor to be trusted as your handmaiden with your "belly full of baby"! I look forward to serving you.

The 6 of us here, my daughter, Jeannine and myself, (we're all double geminis!) apprenticing before her demise in Joseph Ut. Her voice lives through me as I continue to speak on her behalf, advocating for intactivism, unassisted birth, free choice and empowering women worlwide. You, Jeannine were the epitimy of midwifery and the practice of wisewomen ways. I dedicate my life to perserving your work.
