No! I myself have had both a medicated and an unmedicated birth. They were different experiences, and each brought my beautiful babies into the world. It’s my job to support YOUR birth, whether it’s spontaneous and instinctive, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. I’m here to help you have the birth you want!

I like to think of myself like your big sister/bestie/cheerleader. I’m hear to encourage you, help you learn, prepare, heal, tap into your own instincts, and enjoy this incredible journey!
