Midwifery care
"A woman’s birth experience is not something that just happens to her and then it’s over. A woman’s birth experience is about who she is, it’s about who she becomes, it defines her, it unmakes her, and it re-makes her, it unravels her, and puts her together again."
–Hannah Dahlen
my midwifery care
Growing, birthing, and raising a baby is the wildest and most transformative thing you will ever do.
I provide holistic, collaborative, primary care during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum at home or in hospital.
Weaving ancient, innate, and modern knowledge to support your health + decision-making.
Helping you articulate your values, body literacy, and intuitive knowledge to cultivate autonomy and self-responsibility.
Respecting and supporting you to grow, birth, and mother in power and dignity.
It is one of my greatest pleasures to journey with women and their families as they grow, birth, and raise their babies.
PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF CARE
Pregnancy is a supernatural and physiological process that fosters intuition, connection, and self-responsibility integral to birth and parenting.
Birth is a spiritual, physical, and emotional event. It is deeply transformative for a woman and her family and leaves a lasting imprint on their DNA. A woman’s birth experience is fundamental to her postnatal mental health and capacity to mother.
Exploring one’s values, support systems, and how one stands in their power, deepens self-awareness and contributes to a positive and transformational birth.
The health of mothers contributes to the health and stability of the next generation. The wellbeing of families in the first few weeks and months after birth is critical for future wellbeing.
Women are the experts of their own physiology. There is a range of normal to birth that is distinct to the individual; this range is influenced by a woman’s belief system and her relationship to the world around her.
Partners are vital to a woman’s support system and can partake equally in the intimacy and connection of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Babies have the ability to communicate their needs to us long before they are born. Their experience through pregnancy and birth are foundational and significant.
