PREGNANCY AND BIRTH

      I believe and support birth as a natural process which, in most cases, happens spontaneously and needs no intervention, only watchful care. My clients know that this is their baby and their pregnancy, so I teach and counsel each one throughout their pregnancies to give them enough information to feel comfortable making decisions regarding their care and the birth of their baby.  

        I specialize in home birth, but also have birth center options as well.  I provide complete prenatal care, including lab work, and ultrasound, with the option of having your visits in your home. I monitor the progress of your pregnancy and the growth of your baby with close and experienced observation.  I join you in your home for the birth of your baby and stay after the delivery, to make sure both mama and baby are healthy and stable. I have a large, comfortable birth tub, that you can use, if you prefer a water birth. My care includes several post partum visits, the first of which is in your home,1 day after your birth. I also do the normal testing for your newborn, including the hearing screen, the heart screen, and the State Newborn screen.
