I'm passionate about nurturing families to feel strong, capable, witnessed and supported. I meet birthers right where they are in their knowledge and beliefs and guide them to explore and expand them. I believe childbirth is a natural physiological process, that there is a balance between nature and medicine, and that the line may be different for each of us. I honor that.
I have no preconceptions, no agendas other than to support YOUR CHOICES and help guide you to have the most rewarding, healthy birth for you and your baby. My own birth experiences were the catalysts to becoming a birth assistant, and I sincerely hope your birth will be as beautifully transformative as mine. Together, WE ARE CHANGE! Reclaiming birth one person at a time, starting with the most important - YOU. |

Would you like to feel more confident in childbirth?
New Life Blessings is part of a much needed and growing change in the maternity care system. Birth is vulnerable, sacred, beautiful, raw, and primal. Women are strong and capable, and our bodies were meant to nurture and labor to deliver new life from our wombs. Childbirth is a natural event that when left alone, rarely becomes pathological. There can be a balance between nature and medicine.
As your doula or midwife, I'll provide the physical and informational support you and your partner need to feel calm, and advocate for your choices - from natural home water birth, medicated hospital birth, scheduled cesarean and anywhere in between.

Are you feeling excited about parenthood?
Becoming a parent and raising a new little human can feel incredibly monumental. And after birthing this little one, the tasks of a household can feel just a little too much when you really need self-care and healing. Throw a dash of breastfeeding challenges, a sprinkle - or okay, maybe a cup of sleepless nights and you've got yourself one heck of a recipe for the baby blues.
