I am a California Licensed Midwife (LM) with training in prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. I support low-risk families planning home birth with evidence-based, client-centered care.

With personalized, evidence-informed care, I support families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My approach is collaborative and unhurried, grounded in informed choice, clear communication, and compassionate support every step of the way.
