Who We Are

I have been passionate about all aspects of birth since I was a teenager.The first birth that I witnessed and was a part of was my nieces, over a decade ago. Bringing life into this world is one of the most magical things that we can do. Along with being a birth worker, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
