Why Homebirth?

Why Choose Midwifery?

THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN

A classic movie on the safety of home birth vs. the hospital, maybe even more relevant today than when they first made it!

Why Choose homebirth?

Why Choose Midwifery?

The movie, WHY NOT HOME? examines the latest evidence on risks and rewards of different birth and accessible view on the latest research, along with moving personal stories of medical practitioners faced with big decisions for their own growing families.

Why Not Home? Discussion Guide

A handout to spark discussion, dive deeper, and intelligently explore the option of giving birth outside of the hospital. Home birth will never be for everyone, but neither will hospital birth. Women and

families deserve to have accurate information and the freedom to access to maternity care across a

continuum that includes home birth, meeting the unique needs and values of each

family.

Labor & Birth

Postpartum, Lactation & Newborn Care

I believe that healthy, low risk moms who believe in birth and their bodies should have options outside of hospital birth with an experienced midwife. I love being able to come along side women in creating a safe and comfortable space for you to bring your baby into the world, allowing your baby to bond immediately with you and your family in a safe, peaceful, loving birth environment. Whether in water or on land, when you birth in your own home you have many choices to birth your way, to move freely, eat and drink as you desire, have whomever you wish in attendance, and rest in the knowledge that you are supported to birth safely.

My goal is that women be empowered by their birth, feel supported and educated, have minimal interventions, trust and know their birth team and have easy access to their provider.

I believe in birth and that the birthing woman has the best chance to have the birth of her dreams if she puts in the hard work of preparing, physically, mentally and spiritually, in anticipation of the big day. Birth is hard work, and it is well worth it!

I have good rapport with local hospitals and Doctors if questions or situations arise during pregnancy, birth or postpartum and I will happily reach out and work with them to provide the best care possible for my clients.

Additionally, I actively teach and train midwifery students and work with local doulas to provide you with the most supportive team possible.
