My Background

I have been a midwife and a midwifery educator, since 2005. I love birth, making relationships with clients and students, teaching and researching midwifery topics. I have attended births on the east coast, west coast and in between.

I have been lucky to be faculty at Birthwise Midwifery School for the past 15 years. Over that time I have taught; Normal Labor and Birth, Complications of Labor and Birth, Normal Prenatal, Prenatal Complications, Postpartum, Placental Encapsulation, Fertility Awareness, Childbirth Education Methods, and others. I love to delve into all topics midwifery and love supporting new midwives.

I remember being a new midwife and being so grateful for my experienced midwifery partners, but still feeling a need for some non-judgmental support from outside of the practice. It would have been great to be able to ask questions that I feared were stupid. I think we all could use a little love and empowerment from a mama bird. But not for too long-- I will kick you out of the nest so you can fly!
