Question 1

What do I do if I’m interested in working with you?

Accepted Answer

If you feel drawn to this kind of care, the first step is simple - reach out. Be sure to include your due date, address or area, and what number of baby this is for you.

I'll then reach out to you to schedule an in-home, free consultation so we can determine if we are a good fit to work together.

Question 2

What is your risk screening process and criteria for home birth?

Accepted Answer

I provide care for families I consider low risk, typically healthy mothers carrying one baby in a head-down (vertex) position. With many years of experience, I’m happy to discuss your specific history, as prior birth experiences don’t always determine future risk.
Throughout pregnancy, I carefully monitor you and your baby to ensure community birth remains a safe option. If questions or concerns arise, we talk them through and decide together what level of care is most appropriate.
If you have medical conditions or wonder whether home or birth center birth is a good fit, include those details in your inquiry. I will personally call you to discuss before scheduling a consultation.
My goal is always the same: a healthy mother, a healthy baby, and care that is both safe and deeply satisfying.

Question 3

What do you mean by a boutique practice?

Accepted Answer

When I describe my work as a boutique practice, I mean that I intentionally structure my life and care to remain personal, unhurried, and relationship-centered.
I limit the number of clients I take each month to one or two, so each family receives my full attention. 
You have  easy and direct access to me throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Care takes place in your home at times that work for your schedule.
