I am a traditionally trained homebirth midwife. I have been working as a midwife since 1998. I provide confidential, professional care for well women through the entire childbearing cycle, specializing in homebirth and waterbirth services. I am committed to providing every client with gentle, sensitive, holistic assistance.

Midwifery care and homebirth are not only a very safe option for most women, thereby being reimbursed by most insurance programs, but a very economical option as well, costing about one third the cost of routine OB/GYN care and hospital birth. Payment plans are available and credit cards are accepted.

I work in partnership with each woman to help her become or remain low-risk, and to attain and maintain a state of optimal health and wellness. To achieve this goal, I continuously study the fields of midwifery, nutrition, relaxation, childbirth education and lactation (breastfeeding). I maintain daily communication with other midwives both locally and nationally, and I have a great working relationship with the best health, wellness, and medical experts in the community.

Services available include: client education and counseling, well-woman care, laboratory testing, pap smears, complete prenatal care, continuous support during labor, delivery of infant, newborn care, postpartum care of mother, consultation and referral service for area physicians and other family service providers, referrals for nationally certified childbirth educators and doulas, breastfeeding assistance, and registering the birth for the birth certificate, social security number, and newspaper announcement. I love to speak to groups! I would be happy to speak to any group on any of these topics: Healthy pregnancy and childbirth, Homebirth and traditional midwifery, and Classical Christian home-schooling.

I am a Christian, married for 13 years to Jason (a computer systems specialist and a terrific guy), a home-schooling mother, and a midwife. Four out of five of my children were born at home. I have delivered or assisted at over 150 births in all settings: homebirth, birth center, water-birth, and hospital. My training has included apprenticeship, attendance at conferences, workshops and seminars, as well as extensive home study and correspondence. I seek out and participate in continuing education opportunities continuously.
