My path to midwifery began shortly after the birth of my first baby in 2005. After a patiently supported pregnancy and labor with a Certified Professional Midwife, I felt a surprisingly powerful draw to the idea of becoming a midwife myself. I attended doula training, began midwifery school, and started attending hospital births just a few months later in late 2005. It is truly my life's work. I'd even go as far as to say it's my calling. It's hard to imagine doing anything else. It is my passion to provide families with attentive, patient and positive guidance throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.  

 

I have since had 2 more children. Both of those pregnancies were also under the care of midwives - both Certified Nurse Midwives and Certified Professional Midwives, one planned in the hospital and the other planned at home.

I have spent time in both home and birth center settings. After working alongside another local midwife after my graduation in 2014, I started my own practice in 2016.

 

As a midwife, it is my passion to provide safe, respectful, evidenced-based care. I am so grateful for the opportunity to provide in-depth support and individualized midwifery care to pregnant people and their families here in Reno.
