There is nothing accidental about the way I practice: I truly ✨ love ✨ when siblings are part of prenatal visits. Yes, sometimes it’s a little chaotic. There are wiggles and questions and tiny hands reaching for the doppler, and sometimes a meltdown or two. And I welcome it.

Because this is how birth becomes normal. This is how children grow up hearing heartbeats, watching their mother be cared for, and understanding that pregnancy is powerful, not fragile. They see care that is both gentle and strong. They understand that birth is not something to be hidden away or feared, but something to be respected.

And there is something especially sacred about caring for a family again, when the sibling leaning in to listen was once the baby whose heartbeat we listened to years ago. When big siblings become big siblings again and still remember the care they helped provide last time. That full circle moment never gets old.

This is the kind of space I hold. Family centered. Grounded. Big enough for the noise and the tenderness. Because birth does not just shape a baby. It shapes the whole family.

I’m still taking this in, but….
I was voted into the Top 10 OB/GYN providers in Lake Country, and I’m the first midwife to *ever* be included. 🥹

What an incredible honor, not just personally, but for midwifery, for home birth, and for families who believe in true physiological birth and a more relationship-centered way of care.

Getting to walk alongside families in the most sacred seasons of their lives as they reclaim their power and are empowered to trust their intuition is truly the greatest privilege I know.

This recognition belongs just as much to the beautiful community surrounding this work, my clients, my team, my students, and the midwives who came before me and helped make this path possible.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories.
I will never take that lightly. 🤍

Taking a break from my regular content for a super personal and mushy moment 😝

I started the day with a virtual prenatal while my kids did schoolwork in the background, and suddenly it hit me how familiar this is.
[swipe for the full circle moment]

Not that long ago it was midwifery lectures, 8hr class days with toddlers being toddlers in the background or in my lap, climbing over notebooks, needing care or a thousand things in an hour. Me, a newly single mom just trying to hold everything together with the skin of my teeth and pure determination while refusing to let go of the dream even when it seemed a thousand miles away.

I didn’t feel strong back then. I felt scared. Exhausted. Stretched beyond what seemed survivable. I wanted to quit one million times, but I kept showing up anyway.

And now I’m standing inside the life that version of me was fighting so hard to build. Somehow exactly like, and altogether different than I thought it would look. She would be so proud of the me that stands here today, but I owe it all to her

The 24–48 hour postpartum visit is a gentle return to your space, an unhurried moment to check in on both you and your baby as the first waves of new life settle in. We’ll assess baby’s weight, feeding, color, tone, and vitals, and complete the newborn screen, while also tending to your healing, bleeding, rest, and emotional wellbeing. If you chose placenta encapsulation, your prepared capsules are often brought back to you during this visit. More than anything, this time is meant to feel calm and reassuring. A quiet pause to answer questions, reflect on your birth experience while things are still fresh, offer support, and honor the sacred tenderness of these first days together. All from the comfort of your own home

Everyone else is getting super cutesy/professional caricatures and my Chat GPT can’t decide if I’m baby napping one twin from a homebirth or listening to hearttones in a prenatal like my doppler is a walkman, but somehow the vibes work either way 💀✨

P.S. if you’re on the fence about homebirth, a consult is always zero obligation, freeeee, and the best first step! I promise I won’t actually steal your baby 😉

People often ask my opinion on whether big siblings can be present at a birth. While my answer is always the same ✨ it’s ALWAYS your choice ✨ I’ll admit, I love a sibling-attended birth, and gently including them in the birth is something I take pride in being good at.

There’s something deeply grounding about children being nearby. Curious, calm, already part of the welcome. Birth becomes familiar instead of frightening, woven into family life rather than set apart from it. It normalizes it.

And when those siblings were once the babies being born too… it feels like a quiet full-circle moment.

An updated look at my ✨2026✨ availability.

As this year begins to take shape, several months are already full and availability is becoming limited across the rest of 2026. I take a limited number of clients each month so that I can be sure each family is getting exactly the individualized care they deserve. Planning ahead is always encouraged, especially for families hoping to reserve space for supported, intentional home birth care.

And as always: late transfers are always welcome! (I’m looking at you, February families 👀) If at any point in pregnancy you find yourself feeling unsure, unsupported, or simply needing a different kind of care, you’re invited to reach out. Sometimes the right next step is just a conversation.

✨ FREE consultation link in bio ✨

Please note that this reflects my personal availability only. Other members of the .co team may have different openings, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

Care in this space is unhurried and relationship centered. We slow down, talk things through, and leave space for real conversations, because feeling supported matters just as much as the clinical pieces. And honestly? Most of my visits these days just feel like yap sessions with a bestie, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Birth is not a medical event, it’s a profound and intimate transformation, and ✨everyone✨ deserves care that supports that.

P.S. if you have any photos of me from your prenatal -> birth -> postpartum journey that you would feel comfortable with me using publicly, PLEAAAAASE help a girl out 😂

We offer labs as a part of routine care to help us understand the stories your body is quietly telling throughout pregnancy. They’re one of the ways we blend science with intuition. Practical information that supports a deeply personalized path.

Here’s what we typically look at:

• Initial Prenatal Panel: A baseline snapshot of your health — blood type, hemoglobin, immunity, and early screenings.

• Optional Genetic Screening: Available if you feel called to it; we walk through each option so you can choose what aligns with your values.

• Glucose Screening: A mid-pregnancy check on how your body is adapting to the increased demands of growing new life.

• Third Trimester Labs: Iron levels, GBS testing, and any final insights that help guide us toward a safe, supported birth.

Every lab is offered with conversation, consent, and care. You’ll always know the “why,” the “what if,” and the options available to you. And you’ll always have a choice in having these labs performed at all, they’re simply another option available to you. Plus they’re performed skillfully, and thoughtfully in office.

A grounded, thoughtful approach — giving you clear information while honoring the rhythm and wisdom of your pregnancy.
