Having birthed all five of my children at home, I understand birth to be a non-medical event that flows in full strength when undisturbed. I walk with women who seek self-guided, family-centered birth, in full integrity of the Divinely designed physiological process. I uphold the power and simplicity of birth as something to embrace with confidence and wonder, rather than to fear and seek rescuing from. I have studied with leading mentors in the sovereign birth movement, Emilee Saldaya and Yolande Norris-Clark, in the dynamic Matribirth Mentor Institute.

I am an artist of illustration and ceramics with a focus in the Art of Mothering. Spending time with my husband and children on our land in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina is one of my greatest joys. Our home is filled with handmade music, coffee snobbery, forgotten sourdough starters, in-process artworks, and is joyfully confetti-ed with vintage children’s books, Eastern Christian theology and, (of course) books of physiological birth.
