Philosophy of Care

I believe that hiring a Midwife with skills, tools, and knowledge will help families receive well-rounded prenatal care to prepare them for the birth of their baby, while providing them with personalized education along the way. Babies know how to be born, but variations of normal do sometimes happen and having a Midwife present can result in better maternal and neonatal outcomes. Research is clear that Midwife-attended, planned homebirths have similar birth outcomes when being compared to planned birth center births and planned hospital births. 

Additionally, I believe that families should not feel ashamed to ask ALL of their questions, and I look forward to providing answers, guidance, and helping them through the shared decision making process. I believe that quality nutrition and hydration, evidence informed practice, and trauma informed care builds trust, healthy mothers, and healthy babies.

Many families are only a few generations removed from homebirth. Our own grandparents or great-grandparents likely had babies at home. "Way back then," and in the present day, it has been proven that Midwives positively change their communities, lessening the atrocious mortality and morbidity rates that mamas and babies face in the United States today. Midwives make a difference-- One birth at a time. I also believe that mamas and babies work together as a dyad... during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. And I have personally witnessed, time and time again, that a positive and supported birth and postpartum experience can shift generational patterns and generations to come.
