Even as a small child, I was interested in hearing the birth stories of friends and relatives and I was always wagging somebody’s baby around on my hip. I decided I wanted to be a nurse so I could work with mamas and babies, but during nursing school I became disillusioned with the whole maternity care system. During one of my classes, I met a midwife who gave me the book, Spiritual Midwifery. I felt like I finally had a direction!

After having 2 babies while in nursing school, I decided to take a “break”. However, the break turned into forever. My 3rd son was born at home and was truly a life-changing experience! I finally knew how birth COULD be! Although the seed had been planted, it would be many more years before my dream of being a midwife came to fruition.
