My Story

I first became interested in midwifery while planning the home birth of our first baby in 1994. I have been fortunate enough to have stayed home with my young children, even homeschooling them. As a parent, I have always been drawn to Holistic health and healing. My extensive studies include BodyTalk (energy work), Hypnosis, Guided Meditation, Herbs, Aromatherapy, and Nutrition. 

​

In 2005, we moved to Las Vegas, NV. There, I started my journey of becoming a practicing home birth Midwife. I became very involved with the established natural childbirth and parenting community. I founded Well Rounded Momma, a women's wellness and maternity center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

I started as a DONA certified Doula, labor tub technician, and Childbirth Educator. I have supported over 200 families. I have apprenticed with two Certified Professional Midwives and completed paperwork with the North American Registry of Midwives.

 

For the better part of this decade, I have made it my life's work to improve the birthing experience for all women. I speak to medical boards, as well as in-service hospital training for nurses.

"As a Midwife I enjoy helping families choose to have a safe birth at home. I believe that knowledge is a powerful tool when brought to the journey that is birth; I have seen over and over again how wonderful birth is when you are prepared and aware of the choices that lie ahead.

 

So whether you are just beginning your journey or are well along on the path, I would be honored to walk beside you."
