My philosophy of care is based on the belief that pregnancy and birth are healthy, natural life processes and that becoming a mother is a central and life-changing event. My job as a midwife is to monitor the physical, emotional and social well-being of my clients throughout the childbearing cycle and to provide care that results in birth that is safe, enriched and satisfying to each family’s psychological, social and physical needs. I believe that health care should be a collaborative partnership between the midwife and her client. As a midwife, I contribute my expertise and experience, which complements the knowledge every woman has, deep inside herself, of what she needs to achieve an optimal pregnancy and birth experience. I believe in supporting my clients in making their own best choices and also offer guidance when it is needed. I recognize that the best choice for one family may be very different than the best choice for another. To this end, I strive to offer "explanations, not advice". Part of the beauty of homebirth midwifery care is that the generous amount of time dedicated to prenatal care allows families to make fully informed decisions about their pregnancy and birth.

At the heart of midwifery care is the deep personal relationship that develops between the midwife and the pregnant family. I provide truly personalized midwifery care that is responsive to the personal values of the families I serve while maintaining the safety and well-being of mother and baby. My clients and I enjoy a personal relationship that develops over time in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
