Birth in power.

Comprehensive Home Birth Package

As a midwife I provide collaborative, connected and compassionate counseling to women during the childbearing years. I supply wisdom and support, empowering you to make your own informed decisions about your pregnancy, birth, and baby. I believe strongly in client autonomy and seek to arm you with knowledge, not make decisions on your behalf. Birth is a transformative portal into motherhood and I am committed to protecting your right to choose where and how you enter through it. My expertise is guarding the physiologic processes of pregnancy, labor, and birth. I hold space for an undisturbed birth whenever possible while also possessing keen clinical skills, discernment, and equipment in the rare emergency.

This package includes all prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum care. Appointments will be carried out in the comfort of your own home.
