WHY LEARN FROM ME?
THIS IS YOUR JOURNEY
I am a dedicated and professional nurse and childbirth educator with over 20 years of experience in labor and delivery and childbirth education. I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve women, infants and their families during the entire birth process from early pregnancy to postpartum. I truly love helping parents increase their knowledge, reduce their anxiety and have the birth experience they desire. I have witnessed that the experience of birth profoundly impacts lives.
I want to create a comfortable learning environment where the focus is on you and your baby. My goal is to create a personalized session where you decide the time and place that is most convenient for you and your family to learn.
We will create a learning plan together to ensure that all information is covered and questions are answered. It is that easy!
I follow Lamaze International’s Six Healthy Birth Practices when creating and teaching my classes. The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology and The American College of Nurse Midwives both support these evidence-based birth practices. I passionately believe that the more a woman and her partner know, the easier it is for them to make informed decisions and experience a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth.
