I have a heart for natural/unmedicated birth, babies, breastfeeding, and pregnancy after loss. 
Growing up, I always knew I’d be a mama. I wasn’t a girl that dreamed of a big weddings or fancy houses. I just wanted all the babies! The plan for me was to go the medical route, and you wouldn’t catch me breastfeeding; I thought that was gross (🤣). When I got pregnant with my first, my intuition took over and everything changed. 

Four babies later, and I’d love to teach you how to have an autonomous, physiological birth without having to stress before every prenatal appointment or fear being unprepared for when labor starts!

I’ve had a hospital birth, a water birth in a birth center, an induction (loss baby), and a home birth. I’m quite versed in all the areas! I’d be honored to be your birth & baby bestie, and walk through this incredible journey of motherhood with you. 🌼
