Continuity Care

My Midwifery Philosophy

I hold a deep trust and respect in the journey of pregnancy and birth. This trust extends to the body and baby—believing in their natural wisdom and the way they communicate. I listen to your intuition and I listen to my intuition. I listen to the gentle whisper and the powerful roar. Together as we continue to build a deep connection to this journey and attune to the voice of our intuition and the body allows us to follow the path important to support your journey. In this space of trust and connection, I offer my presence, support, and guidance. I believe the way forward will be shown—and when it is, I will walk beside you.

Continuity of care means being supported by a known and trusted midwife—through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. This relationship-centered model of care allows trust and safety to grow, creating a sacred foundation for your birthing experience.
