Welcome baby Fiammetta 🩷 Born 4/9 at 7lbs 5oz! Her story proves that sometimes it's needed to utilize the resources at the hospital. This client had a long exhausting labor because this sweet baby girl was directly OP (Sunnyside up 🙃) Once we transfered and her body was able to rest, she used her strength to bring forth her sweet girl surrounded by an all female midwifery team! We all witnessed her head spiral in a complete turn at crowning and thought "Why couldn't you have done that 30 hours ago!" I am so proud of this client - for persevering through pain, fear and the unknown! You are so strong and capable ❤️❤️❤️

We have an exciting announcement! I have officially leased a beautiful office space that I will be sharing with the talented Christi Rae Photography! This means I will be transitioning over time to seeing clients in a private office within this space and Christi will be using part of the space as her indoor photography studio (as well as utilizing the beautiful property grounds!)
We can't wait to get the office all furnished and ready for an opening celebration with you all!

I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to have this space so that I can provide you all with the best care possible in a more sustainable manner. The burnout rate is high in midwifery and I'm doing whatever I can to practice for a lifetime ❤️

Welcome baby Maverick 🩵 Born 1/8 at 7lbs 14oz. We witnessed in amazement that her labor matched intensity with the thunderstorm swelling outside. As the storm picked up, so did her contractions. As she called out, the winds howled louder. Mother nature in perfectly harmony! And then he came forth as the storm dissipated - born into the water into his grandfather's waiting hands. A young woman became a mother surrounded with the love and unwavering support of her family.
Congratulations to you all!! 🥹
