Reuniting with repeat clients is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. I am delighted to be serving six families this year whom I previously had the privilege of serving as Braided Birth Midwife!
What a joy and honor💓

*this number doesn’t include repeats that i attended as a primary student prior to opening my own practice. I am so blessed to have such support along this journey and I’m grateful to each and every client*🫶🏻🥰

2025 birth stats
This year was absolutely transformative, from the hardest moments to the blissful ones. Words cannot even express the gratitude i have for the families who have trusted me this year, the midwives who have come alongside me in support and my own family for flexibly jumping in to care for my kids, sometimes at the drop of a hat. This job is grueling and magnificent all wrapped up in one. Going into 2026 i have high expectations 💚

35 births attended this year
19 boys
16 girls
Also supported 9 women with losses this year 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

The art of midwifery is truly priceless: using touch to gather vital information. With skilled hands, we can determine baby's position, size, and even fluid levels. We can even decipher if baby's flipped head down since your last appointment, like this previously breech baby! At 38 weeks she finally decided to turn head down. I was confident in my findings but decided to pull out the ultrasound for confirmation. Im thankful for technology at our fingertips but i never want to put my faith in it more than my own skills! Has your provider ever mapped baby’s position using Leopoldo’s maneuvers?

3 of the last 4 Sundays, I’ve attended births. Truly blessed to serve those mothers (and all the others) on my Sabbath🤍

Ever wondered why your provider measures your belly during pregnancy? We're not just tracking your growing bump! We're actually checking your fundal height, from the p***c bone to the top of the uterus. This measurement should roughly match your gestational age in weeks. (in cm’s) Fundal height gives us valuable insights into baby's growth and other pregnancy factors. We combine this with palpation, which I'll share more about soon 😉

If you know me in real life you probably know that I’m a pretty transparent person, but for my online friends i wanted to share some simple facts you may not know 🙋🏻‍♀️

🔹 I’m over 6 ft tall (this is the first thing people clearly notice when they meet me for the first time 🤣 social media doesn’t exactly show peoples heights!

🔹I love sewing and used to have a small business dedicated to making clothes! I don’t have as much time these days but in my granny days, you can bet I’ll be crafting and sewing my heart out 😂

🔹We are a board game loving family! I think the last time i counted we owned over 100 games 🤓

🔹Im completely ambidextrous but write with my left hand! Sports, cervical exams and everything in between i use my right and for though!

🔹my husband and i met out of state at church camp when i was 13 years old! He’s from Michigan and we had a long distance relationship until he got his license and made trips often to visit. We got married when i was 19 and I’ve been with him longer than I’ve been without him now!!

🔹I have 5 children, 4 girls and one boy! We homeschool them all too🫶🏻

🔹i love Ohio’s 4 seasons (though summer and fall are my favorites!) and i LOVE Christmas time! We have so many traditions with our kiddos and family that bring me so much joy each year 🎄

🔹 We love to travel and camp with our crew! This year we took 5 camping trips and next year i hope to do even more 🏕️ anything outdoors, please!

🔹 i love gardening and canning! I eventually want to homestead and my dream is to have a family/friend compound 🤣 in this season of life we just buy our meat, eggs and raw milk etc locally but i aspire to have a small community of these things one day! 🤞🏼

🔹 I love Jesus and everything we do is rooted in our faith! I went to ministry school in California after i graduated high school! Before i knew i was called to midwifery i loved serving in our church’s youth group!

Personalized care is the heart of midwifery. My practice blends routine diagnostics with meaningful relationships and i wouldn’t have it any other way💛
