Dear Valued Clients,
I hope this message finds you well.
After much reflection, I’ve decided to begin the process of transitioning toward retirement. Deciding to step away from on-call life slowly has not been an easy decision, as my time as a midwife has been both fulfilling and meaningful. I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences I’ve had here and for the many wonderful clients I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
Rather than stepping away all at once, I would like to begin a gradual transition. My goal is to reduce my hours and only accept repeat clients over the coming months and years, allowing time for those of you who have enjoyed working with me and plan to have more children, and would like to continue working with me. I want to ensure that my departure is as seamless as possible and that the people and projects I care about continue to succeed.
I am open to discussing the details of this phased approach and what that support could look like for you during this transition. But as for now, I will continue to offer home birth support for those of you who have been in my care in some capacity. I will not be accepting new clients after January 1, 2026
Whether it’s fertility concerns, preconception work, miscarriage support, hormone/mood issues, or holistic well women care, I’d like to continue contributing meaningfully support in my next chapter.
Thank you for your support and understanding. I look forward to working together on a plan that benefits both you and me, and this next step in my journey.
💛 Warm regards 💛

🌟🌟 2026 🌟🌟

It is time for me to start backing out slowly.
Beginning in January 2026, I will only be accepting REPEAT clients.
What does this mean? If we have talked about working together or if we have worked together in some capacity, such as fertility, a miscarriage, balancing hormones, nutritional coaching, holistic well-women care, birth, postpartum, etc., you are welcome to reach out.
I still have spots open for ANYONE to finish off 2025.
💛💛Love and Peace💛💛

I thought I was quitting this year. I let my certification go, stopped accepting new clients, and took more time off.
Forty-eight hours before my second deadline for my certification, I decided I had worked way to f’n hard just to quit, locked myself in a room and got my s**t together, and renewed my certification.
It is with a heavy heart that I say I have limited availability from here on out. This past year, it has been such a pleasure spending time with family and friends, something I haven’t done since 2019……
From now on, I will only accept clients during the months of March, April, May, September, October, and November.
I'm choosing to spend more time with my family and friends, so I will no longer be accepting clients during the months of January, February, June, July, August, and December.
3 months on and 3 months off.
Not only did I bust my a** to get where I am today as a midwife, but at the end of the day, I love my job and the families that I serve, and I CAN NOT just walk away.
Thank you to all for allowing me to serve you and for your patience this year as I try to figure out who I am and who I want to be.
2025 is my year!!!!
