MIDWIFERY CARE
Comprehensive, Holistic
The midwifery model of care takes into consideration the whole person and their wellness to provide individualized education, counseling, and clinical care while minimizing unnecessary interventions. It is based on the understanding that pregnancy and birth is a normal physiological process that should not be interfered with unless there is a clear need.
I firmly believe birth is a natural process that should be celebrated, nurtured, and normalized with a family-centered approach.
I am here to offer guidance to women and their families as they navigate their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a licensed midwife, I am able to provide all of your care including ordering labs and ultrasounds, as well as referral to an appropriate provider if any complications arise.
Experienced
DOULA/MONITRICE SUPPORT
Birth opens the door to a woman's strength in a way nothing else in this life can. It touches your soul, and you are likely to experience every emotion imaginable. You may reach a point where you want to give up.​ THIS IS WHY I'M HERE.​
​
I use techniques that have been passed down from generations and across cultures to counter the discomfort that birthing can bring. I'm knowledgeable in ideal birthing positions, stretches and exercises that can encourage baby to move down and reduce the length of labor. If your partner or a family member is present for your birth I can guide them through any or all of these techniques so that they are involved and present in this experience. My goal is to strengthen your partnerships during this intimate time; enhance your connection with those who love you. ​
BODY ZONING

​
Zoning is a natural, Holistic, and non-invasive treatment that helps balance the body so it can heal from a number of ailments and burdens. These ailments could be due to trauma, exposure to toxins and chemicals or passed down from generations past. The body's systems are inter-related and work together, and Zoning is the science of balancing, rejuvenating, and repairing the body through the signal system in the foot, face and back.

I recommend drinking lots of water before and after your appointment, and you may want a journal to take notes!​
PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
$250
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after the baby's birth. The ingestion of the placenta is known as “placentophagy.” The purpose of placentophagy is to reintroduce beneficial vitamins, minerals, hormones, and other nutrients to help restore a more balanced body function, increase breastmilk production, shorten healing time, increase energy levels, and provide an overall feeling of wellness to aid in the transition between pregnancy and the early postpartum period.
​
I prepare the placenta according to your preference. With Traditional Chinese Medicine, I gently steam the placenta, slice it thinly, and dehydrate it. With the Raw method, I simply slice it thinly, and dehydrate it. When it is completely dry, I powder and encapsulate it.
​
Turn around time is typically about 48 hours.
​
I accept a limited number of clients each month, so early scheduling is highly recommended.
