The Painted Midwife
Midwife, Doula, Birthworker
A certified natural birth educator and doula with the Academy of Husband Coached Childbirth, and trained by Doulas of North America (DONA) Birth Doula program, I providing labor and postpartum support to my many clients. Four years ago, I decided to continue my services to the community and took the next step and entered into a midwifery program focused on becoming a midwife in 2016. Now graduated and licensed, I provide full support from preconception to postpartum to all types of families.
With over 200 births attended, and my own experiences, I have gained a deep compassion through my own childbirth journeys about the strength of a laboring woman and her support systems and their impact on the birth of a child. Being able to support families through their time of pregnancy, labor and birth and breastfeeding continually renews my belief in the natural circle of life. I am continually on a learning path to help enhance my ability to provide a wide array of support including; birth education, birth doula support and postpartum care services.
I bring over 10 years of knowledge and understanding with a strong but gentle touch to the families I serve. I offer knowledge and support for all types of families and situations. My passion is to help support families in their choices for their births, empower them to have voices in their care and nurture them in their birth journeys.
