I am a midwife at Gentle Mama Holistic Midwifery in Chelsea, Michigan. I’m also an Integrative Health Coach specializing in health and wellness, nutrition and essential oils. I  have been  working within the pregnancy world since 1996 and as a midwife since 2006.  I have witnessed over a thousand births and have helped to guide many people through a positive and healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

At Gentle Mama Holistic Midwifery we offer empowering, holistic, personalized, gentle homebirth including waterbirth in Michigan.  We honor the beautiful processes of the childbearing year, appreciating the innate and natural physiologic birth process. We respect each mama and baby’s sacred space while cherishing the unique birth experience that each mama-baby have.

I am a certified integrative health coach. I specialize in helping people reach their health and wellness goals through dietary shifts and lifestyle changes throughout the childbearing years. I understand that there is no “one size fits all” plan. My goal is to help guide people in a direction that meets their individual needs and desires and helps them to reach their optimal health throughout this season of their lives.

Every pregnancy is different and there are things you can do to help yourself to prepare your body for an easier birth and recovery. With a healthy diet and exercise you can improve the way you feel throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery.
