I received this beautiful thank you note from a client after her redemptive home birth. ‘Thank you for believing in me when I doubted myself, for guiding us gently, and for helping our birth be exactly what we needed. I feel stronger and more whole than ever.’
Being part of a journey like this - witnessing transformation, courage, and deep love - is why I do this work.
Dear K and K, thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you.

She birthed her baby with gentle strength. There was no force, no rush - only deep trust in her body and a steady willingness to meet each wave as it came. She allowed birth to unfold as it was meant to. A beautiful reminder of how powerful, peaceful and full of love birth can be.

Two beautiful baby girls, both peacefully born at home, two days apart, two miles away from each other, both stormborn, with heavy rain, lightening and thunder in the background.

“Good midwifery is a combination of art, science, experience, and instinct.” — Jennifer Worth

You blend clinical expertise with compassionate intuition, weaving evidence and empathy into every moment. Your experience guides you when science points the way, and your instinct speaks truth in the quiet seconds between contractions.

You honor the art of holding space, the science of safe care, and the wisdom born from every birth you witness.

I was literally talking with new parents this afternoon about having regular fun and engaging date nights on a regular basis to reconnect, refuel, and reclaim some ‘us’ time.

Hello, friends of My Mindful Birth, I’m happy to announce that after an almost 2 years hiatus, I’m reopening My Mindful Birth. As many of you know, I now live in Arizona and will be offering my services as a homebirth CNM in the East Mesa/Valley. I’m so excited to start this new chapter!

It’s with much mixed emotions that I’m announcing the closing of My Mindful Birth. I’m so grateful for the opportunities so many families have given me over the years to serve them and the trust they placed in me during significant events in their lives. This past year has been challenging as I transitioned to a new chapter in my life. When I moved to Arizona earlier this summer, I was blessed to leave the practice in the skillful and loving hands of Certified Nurse Midwife Corinne Westing and Nurse/Student Midwife Shelli Mullins who has dedicated herself to the families of My Mindful Birth for the last 5 years.

The time has come to pass the pinard horn (an old fashion wooden tool that midwives use to listen to the fetal heartbeat) to these two wonderful and gifted ladies as Corinne is announcing the opening her own practice Birth Roots Community Midwifery. Corinne and Shelli will be joined by Corinne’s business partner, Cote Saez, doula and herbalist, who will be offering additional support for birth mentorship and postpartum closing. Please, visit their website Birth Roots Community Midwifery to learn about the many services these will offer. I’m confident that with them, the next phase of home birth in the Chicagoland will be a successful and joyful one. .
Again, thank you so much for your support through these years.
With love and gratitude,
Isabelle
