Traditional Mother-Led Midwifery Care
Partnering with women during the sacred journey to motherhood!
Midwifery Services
I believe in the power and beauty of mother led physiological birth! I hold firm that knowledgeable, empowered mothers know their bodies and their babies. Together we form a team to provide the best prenatal and birth journey possible. Please reach out to schedule a free consultation.
Prenatal Care
Prenatal appointments are done in the comfort of my home office in south Hanover. Appointments are 1-hour long each month until 32 weeks, then twice a month until 36 weeks, and once a week until birth. Appointments are centered around building a strong, trusting relationship between the midwife and the mother. These visits go beyond clinical checks, offering ample time for meaningful conversation, emotional support, and holistic care. Each appointment is an opportunity to listen deeply to the mother’s concerns, answer questions, and support her physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being as she prepares for birth. Rooted in tradition and intuition, these sessions honor the natural unfolding of pregnancy and the wisdom women as mothers.
Birth Journey
Being with a woman and holding her sacred space as she brings new life into this world is an honor and I am thankful to be witness to the process for so many. Supporting a mother through labor means being a calm, grounded presence who honors the sacredness of birth while offering continuous care. I provide emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, and guidance, always tuning in to the mother’s needs and rhythms. Whether through careful monitoring, encouraging words, or simply holding space, my role is to protect the mother and baby ensuring birth is safe, mom is respected and empowered throughout the process. Labor is a profound journey, and I am there every step of the way to walk beside her with trust and compassion.
Postpartum Care
Nurturing the new mother is a tradition in many cultures. Postpartum care is deeply nurturing and centered on the well-being of both mother and baby. This sacred time is honored with gentle support that recognizes the physical healing, emotional shifts, and bonding that occur after birth. As a traditional midwife, I offer home visits at 48 hrs and 2 weeks, breastfeeding support, and holistic guidance, creating space for rest, reflection, and connection. I hold space for mother’s experience, listening with compassion and offering reassurance as she transitions into her new role. Postpartum care is not just about recovery—it’s about honoring the mother’s journey and ensuring she feels supported, seen, and cared for long after the birth.
Placenta Services
Honoring the sacred vessel that provided for your baby is special and reverent for me. I put love and care into each placental service paying homage to the beauty of the tree of life!
