You will be an active participant in your pregnancy and birth. We service low-risk clients only and work with them according to Colorado state regulations. I have created protocols of practice according to ancient art, modern practice and state and national law. I will gladly work in conjunction with other health care providers in order to best serve you. Many insurance companies cover midwifery care. I support your desire for a natural and gentle birth with minimal intervention. There is a focus on peaceful and low-intervention birth but skilled and efficient care in case of emergencies. I will provide uninterrupted continuity of care through pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum. |

I live in the small mountain town of Rico, CO, but have called the entire western slope of Colorado home for more than 10 years. I began my journey into midwifery as a prenatal yoga instructor. I wanted to learn more, so I became a doula.
After attending my first homebirth a light came on inside. Now, after being close to birth for more than five years I have emerged with an education and a deep appreciation for what women experience during pregnancy, labor and birth. I feel it is my privilege and responsibility to support women during this most joyous time. |
