My Journey & Education

My education in birth work isn't just professional—it's deeply personal. Every workshop, book, and training I complete is fueled by my passion for helping families experience birth with dignity, information, and support. I believe that continuing education isn't just about collecting certifications—it's about becoming the most effective advocate and support person I can be for you.

I'm always happy to discuss my training and approach in more detail during our consultation!
