Welcome!

I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) in Vermont and New Hampshire. I offer compassionate and respectful care for every body.

Reproductive health, wellness, and justice are passionate interests as a late adolescent and young adult. This interest was fueled by an early understanding of the intersections between reproductive health and structural inequalities that entrench our world, and how they impact maternity care. During my undergraduate studies in Gender and Identity, I set out to make entering our world more gentle- one person and baby at a time - as a midwife.

In 2009, I became a certified Doula as the foundation for my midwifery path primarily supporting pregnant people in substance use recovery programs. The following year, I began a three year apprenticeship with several Vermont Licensed Midwives attending out-of-hospital births. The culmination of my midwifery training took place at Yayasan Bumi Sehat in Bali, Indonesia under the supervision of Robin Lim, a globally recognized midwife and reproductive health advocate.  In 2013, I became a Licensed Midwife and nationally recognized as a Certified Professional Midwife.

I live in Shelburne, Vermont with my children and partner.
