Approach and midwifery style

My passion is to give women the opportunity to have a positive birth experience. A positive pregnancy & birth experience has far reaching benefits to mother, child and father/birth partner.

I started seeing many women to help them with post partum depression – the common denominator was all of these women experienced birth as traumatic.

Every women should have access to this information – birth is currently something that is feared by most women – this needs to change to allow our planet to heal. Children born to women who have had traumatic/negative pregnancies are more likely to develop depression later in life. We can prevent this from happening if we spread the word that pregnancy and birth is a celebration of life. I feel privilege to be able to share tools & techniques that help women have a more positive birth experience.

A positive birth experience does not always mean a natural birth – my classes help prepare mothers for the birth experience that is safest for mother & baby.
