"One form of heroism, the most common, and yet the least remembered of all - namely, the heroism of the average
Mother! "
Your birth matters!
Hello, and Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my site!
If you are an expectant mother, I want to congratulate you and say welcome to Motherhood! There are so many things to navigate as you start down this journey towards a safe birth and motherhood with so many decisions to make. As a midwife, I am here to help you navigate this journey and to support you through this most precious and most vulnerable time in your life. If this is not your first baby, you probably have a good idea of what you already want. You want to have good support from those with whom you trust though this journey.

Midwives Model of Care©
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
Minimizing technological interventions
Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
"Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:13-14
