I was born and raised right here in Olympia, Washington. And, although I lived in California and Arizona in my early twenties, I always knew that I wanted to raise my family back home.
I am married with three beautiful children (two boys and a girl). My first two babies were born in the hospital and my third was born in the water at home. I began my journey to midwifery after my second hospital birth. I knew that there was a way for women to feel empowered, strong, and to be given a voice about their own healthcare choices; during my quest, I discovered exactly what I was looking for...midwifery.
The midwifery model of care is about providing individual care to expecting families in a gentle, honest, and loving way. I have found that when folks trust their provider, feel safe in their environment, and have their choices respected, they to report better birth experiences and outcomes.
I began working with pregnant people in 2011 and immediately loved it. I graduated from the Midwives College of Utah with my Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM) in 2015. I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) in Washington State.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling, making memories with my family, swimming, attending concerts and live performances.
Midwives consider birth a natural event. Midwifery is based on the belief that childbirth is a natural, healthy process and that most pregnant people are fully capable of giving birth.

Midwives consider birth a natural event. Midwifery is based on the belief that childbirth is a natural, healthy process and that most pregnant people are fully capable of giving birth. Midwives see pregnancy as part of the full spectrum of life's experiences, and they believe pregnant people have the right to a fulfilling, as well as a safe, childbirth experience.
Midwifery care involves judicious use of technology. Women avoid the risks, discomfort, and disruption that unnecessary procedures impose, yet have the opportunity to use available technology if needed.
National research shows that midwives achieve the same outcomes as physicians without disrupting the natural birth process as often. Research also shows that midwives have reduced cesarean section rates by more than 50% with no compromise in safety.
In fact, care from midwives has significantly lower rates of induced labor, episiotomies and forcep births. Midwives are most actively involved in a pregnant person's preparation for childbirth. That kind of support reduces the length of labor, avoids unnecessary interventions and improves birth outcomes. Midwifery care is proven to be safe!
