I am a Certified Professional Midwife
through the North American Registry of Midwives. I received my training
by apprenticing with experienced midwives. I recently lived on Maui
and attended home births with a longtime traditional midwife. I also
worked in a clinical setting at a birth center in El Paso, Texas.
Birth is a highly evolved, natural
process that most often requires only watchful attention and support
to have a healthy mom and baby. I teach families about their birth
choices and hope to see women empowered by giving birth. Through this
experience, mothers will have the energy and resources needed to nourish
their young in a whole and healthy way.
I am also a Certified Infant Massage
Instructor. Touch is the first language that we understand as infants
Babies are sensitive and conscious beings. I am committed to nurturing
the primal connection that we expect as infants. I am joyful watching
families bond in such a way that their babies are heard with an open
heart. I also feel that mothers need this same type of nurturing as
they are constantly giving of themselves to their children.
I am currently being trained in Jin
Shin Tara, which employs a gentle touch on points along meridian pathways
to reorganize the nervous system, allowing it to find balance and
release.
Our world needs more people feeling
connected and at peace. Birth is a perfect place to begin.
