About me
“It’s not just the making of babies, but the making of mothers that midwives see as the miracle of birth.”
– Barbara Katz Rothman
I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) driven by a fundamental belief: every person deserves access to holistic midwifery care throughout their entire life. From adolescence through pregnancy, birth, and menopause, my practice is built on safety, equity, and deep respect for your unique body.
I view every healthcare milestone as a transformative life event that requires medical expertise, true partnership, and trauma-informed advocacy.
My Philosophy
- Universal Access: Everyone deserves midwifery care.
- Empowerment: You are the expert on your body.
- Trauma-Informed: Safety means physical and emotional security.
- Collaborative Safety: Seamless integration with hospital OB/GYN specialists.
My Approach to Your Care
Your past experiences, preferences, and boundaries shape how we work together. I practice trauma-informed care, meaning I prioritize clear communication, explicit consent, and your physical and emotional comfort at every step.
By combining modern clinical guidelines with a supportive, low-intervention approach, I ensure you feel safe, heard, and fully in control of your birth experience.
