Maternity Care Services
Prenatal care will be provided by me in the comfort of your own home-
surrounded by your loved ones.
I also offer office visits for those who would rather be seen in an office setting.
Having a single provider for maternity care allows consistency in the advice you are given throughout your pregnancy journey.
​
Midwife led prenatal care is time intensive and personal.
The visits can be up to an hour long.
I collect health information necessary for ensuring a safe pregnancy, going over all tests and ultrasounds completed, and preparing for the day of your baby’s birth. We also focus on your overall nutritional and emotional health and share the pregnancy journey with you.
If there are any problems that arise, I will manage what can be managed in Midwifery care and consult and refer for pregnancies that may become complicated.
​
I care for expecting mothers desiring Hospital birth and Planned Home Birth.
The initial visit includes gathering a history and a risk assessment to be
sure you are an excellent candidate for Midwifery care.
I discuss many details of your prenatal care and begin the commitment to Midwifery care.
You will have visits monthly until 28 weeks. At this time, I will see you every other week until the last month of your pregnancy when I begin seeing you weekly. If you pass your expected delivery date, I will likely see you twice a week. I can always see you for any problems that may arise and I am available to personally communicate with my clients while they are pregnant.
Prenatal care is a time to focus on excellent physical and mental health for both you and your baby!
It gives me joy to guide you through this!
Labor and Birth​
I have helped with many amazing births. Some births are hard and some are easy. Each baby is born with its own story.
​
I am supportive of birth in all settings.
​When your special day (or night) arrives, you will contact me directly.
​
If you are planning a Hospital Birth I will notify the hospital you are coming and be sure they have what they need to assume your care for your labor and birth. Doula services are an option and encouraged.
​
If you are having a planned Home Birth we will talk with each other through the early stages and I will come to you when you feel the time is right. Certainly Home Birth is more intimate and allows greater flexibility for the mother and her family.
​
In addition to my private Midwifery practice, I work as a Midwife hospitalist part time at Winchester Medical Center. Often times I can attend one of my own client's Hospital birth. OB Hospitalist Group (OBHG) Physicians and Nurse Midwives are on site at Winchester Medical Center 24 hours a day and will assume your care for your labor on a day that I am not scheduled to work. Truly you can be sure to have a Nurse Midwife attend your birth.

Postpartum Care Services
I am available for questions and concerns anytime during this period.
My clients will be given followup by me after their planned hospital birth. Home Birth clients have several early postpartum visits and will have their final visit at around 6 weeks.
​
As a former Breastfeeding consultant and as a mother to three breastfed children I can help with many early breastfeeding issues or refer to a practicing Lactation Consultant as needed.
Women's Healthcare Services
As of June 2025 Women's Healthcare Services
are not available.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
