CERTIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
I look forward to working with your family as you prepare for the birth of your child. My goals are to ease your anxieties, provide you with evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions during your pregnancy and birth and teach you the hands-on skills to feel comfortable and competent while caring for your newborn.
Congratulations on the wonderful, exciting news that you are expecting! Becoming a parent changes your life in amazing ways. I wish you a beautiful, healthy pregnancy and an amazing birth!
