I’ve always known I wanted to work with women and babies—I just didn’t always know what that would look like. My journey to midwifery really began back when I was the one having babies. My first two births were in the hospital with epidurals (which, to be honest, worked fantastically), but by the time I was expecting baby #3, I felt a tug for something different. I wanted to actually feel what labor was like—to be an active part of the process instead of it just happening to me. Armed with a whopping half a book and a whole lot of determination (this was 17 years ago—before Instagram doulas and TikTok birth tips!), I figured I was prepared. That confidence lasted until I hit 6 cm and decided I was out—I asked for the epidural. But then… in walked a nurse who changed my life. She said, “Let me help you through a few contractions,” and went on to teach my husband and me how to breathe, move, squeeze hips—you name it. Our son was born without any medication, and I walked away from that birth empowered. I knew from that moment on, I wanted to help other women feel that same strength in birth. I told my husband "Whatever she was for me, I want to be that for other women". That support was so incredible!

I raised my sweet babies and homeschooled for the next 9 years and then in February 2018, I took my first step into birth work by becoming a doula, supporting families in both home and hospital settings.

Over the years I witnessed the growing need for homebirth midwives. I began assisting midwives at homebirths and quickly recognized that God was calling me to this work. The need is great—and so was the pull on my heart.

In the spring of 2021, I was accepted into the National Midwifery Institute College of Midwifery. Over the next four years, I attended school and apprenticed with an incredible midwife as well as spent some time working at a busy birth center in Ohio learning hands-on skills.

Spring of 2025, I graduated from school!

In July 2025, I passed the NARM exam and officially became a Certified Professional Midwife!

I’ve had the honor of attending over 230+ births and consider it a true blessing to be invited into such intimate, powerful moments. Each birth leaves me in awe of the miracle of life, and I never take that privilege lightly.
