Our Team

I began working with Moms and Babies in hospital labor & delivery, postpartum, and nursery as a surgical assistant and tech when I was just 18 years old. The birth of my first child at age 17 and my experience in labor and birth as a tech inspired me to become an RN, and I finished my schooling as an RN in 2010. As an RN, I was passionate about the Mom and Baby relationship and learned how important the breastfeeding relationship is in basic newborn health as well as maternal mental health, and I became a lactation consultant in 2012. By 2017, I had assisted in a plethora of labor and birth emergencies ~often caused by intervening with the natural birth process~ and began looking for a way to make a real impact in maternal and newborn outcomes and connect with my patients on a different level. I knew that to change outcomes, I needed to be a provider— and I needed to be a provider who listens to her patients. I finished my Master’s degree in 2021 and have had the privilege of being a birth center Midwife for hundreds of Moms over the past 5 years.

It is my mission to make those in my care feel heard and understood, and I pride myself in being a provider that feels like your friend. You’re in charge of your health, and I would love to be in charge of keeping you safe while you bring your new baby EarthSide. When evaluating a woman for fertility, hormone imbalances, and PCOS, I take a root-cause approach and don’t believe that birth control is an answer to these issues. If you’ve been told “birth control is the treatment” or “just lose weight” or “your labs look fine” and you’re looking for a deeper answer, this type of care is definitely right for you :-)
