As a Certified Lactation Counselor and Accredited Childbirth Educator, I consider it a privilege to serve and hold space for couples as they walk this new journey in their lives…without judgement, with patience, and with practical steps to help them decide what is best for their babies and themselves.

For me, birth and breastfeeding knowledge is just part of my being. I call it my “soul work”, the work I’m meant to be doing for my community that it part of my life’s purpose. It ignites me to answer all the questions couples have and share current, evidence-based information to help them plan for their births and postpartum.

Whether birthing at home, a birth center, or the hospital, I ask the hard questions and encourage you to take time to reflect and discuss what’s important for your birth, your parenting journey, and more.

I don’t believe in pain-free birthing. If you’re considering a natural birth, you need to know what to expect, have tools to help you cope with the discomfort, and a supportive birth team.

But maybe you’re planning on a medicated, hospital birth…using all the resources available. I want you to know more about these resources and when to best use them.

I want dads/partners to know and understand how they can be a supportive and present part of the birth process, not just watching from the corner of the room.
