Who Am I?

Welcome to Hands and Hearts Birth & Botanical!

 

As a mom of 9 myself, I understand how important it is to have a safe, knowledgeable birthing experience. My holistic approach as a Traditional Midwife combines compassion and knowledge with continuing education and training. I strive to provide my clients with the best care possible, utilizing both modern and traditional evidence-based information and methods to help balance their emotional and physical overall health and I am committed to helping each of them reach their goals.

​

I continue my holistic, natural healthcare approach outside of the childbearing season with the inclusion of alternative care options that include knowledge and training in homeopathy, herbal, and Bach Floral Essences to help every member of the family toward their best physical and emotional well-being.

 

Whether you're looking for Well-Woman or family health support, or just pre- or post-natal care, I'm here to help you. Reach out today to learn more about how I can support your pregnancy journey and all of your alternative health care needs.

Certificates and Trainings

As a professional Midwife, I’ve received training from multiple certified organizations, and maintain my skills and knowledge through continued education and research. This continued training helps me stay up to date with the most relevant information, and ensures I am providing you with the best, evidenced-base care possible. I invite you to review my training qualifications and experience below.  Please contact me with any questions about my training and certifications that you may have.
