Highly experienced midwife. 

Lead Midwife

Over 20 years experience in maternal child health. 

14 years as home birth & birth center midwife in Alaska and Washington with prescriptive authority.

Worked internationally in Chile, Mexico & Haiti.

Advanced training in VBAC, breech, IV therapy, fertility & functional medicine.

 

Skilled birth team.

Back up and support.

Your birth team will include a combo of midwives, nurses, EMTs and student midwives waiting on standby.

They stay invisible unless they are needed.

I call them my birth ninjas!

This is what sets our practice apart and keeps your birth safe & relaxed for everyone.

Your comfort comes first.

"Hands off"

I'm known as "hands off" & "chill". I move where you move so you are the comfortable one. Expect very few vaginal exams and often, none at all.

Low volume practice. 

Personalized attention

I take on a very small number of births each month ensuring you get lots of attention, home visits and a well rested birth team on your special day.
