​

Through love, logic, education, advocation and a little bit of trust in the universe, I help clients achieve powerful birth experiences that will impact them for years to come. I don't believe in a healthy baby being the only end goal, but a mentally well and supported parent being my top priority.

​

I am an indigenous woman who brings a bit of my culture into all of the things that I do. I have 3 wonderful sons who range in age from 5 to 12 years. They keep me on my toes for sure. My spouse and I enjoy traveling, food experiences, hosting friends and family, as well as being active and giving back to our local community.  I am passionate about supporting other female owned businesses.

I have attended over 300 births in home, hospitals and birth centers. I have attended 79 VBAC's, including VBA2C & VBA3C with 89% of those resulting in vaginal births. I have supported 41 families welcome their twins vaginally, and 93% of my clients have achieved the types of births they set out to achieve. I have a background in psychology and a passion working with those who have a history in anxiety or are facing high risk pregnancies and might need extra emotional support. Feel free to poke around and contact me with any questions you might have.
