Care Philosophy
I believe in providing compassionate, individualized care that honors each person’s unique journey through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. I am committed to family-centered care that uplifts the voices, values, and choices of the birthing person and their loved ones. My practice is rooted in trust, partnership, and the belief that every family deserves respectful, empowering support.
