About Me

I'm a mother of three gorgeous daughters and a registered nurse. My love and passion for assisting mothers during birth started as far back as my teen years. I used to have this recurring dream at night where I was helping mothers give birth to their babies. This went on for several years. I knew that God was trying to get my attention and in later years I realized that His grace and calling on my life included birth work. My faith in Jesus Christ is an integral part of my life. This will be part of the services I offer in the form prayer to support your family and during birth/ early postpartum. 

During my last years in high school, I was encouraged by an aunt who was a retired midwife to consider pursuing nursing and eventually midwifery. I already had plans of studying nursing in college so that was a great starting point. 

I entered nursing college and was absolutely mesmerized by the pregnancy milestones and birthing process during my clinicals. My passion for assisting with birth and everything related, was even more ignited. I earned my nursing diploma and continued to acquire a bachelor’s degree in nursing with the intention specializing in labor and childbirth unit (also known as L&D - Labor & Delivery or OB).

I felt so fulfilled when my dream and passion was accomplished as I was blessed to work in the prenatal, labor, childbirth, and postpartum unit for almost 10 years. I taught Lamaze childbirth classes. During that period and that is when I had my own 3 princesses.

To attain some flexibility to meet the changes in my family, I left the childbirth area of my career and became a school nurse for 5 years. 

My passion for birth work never waned and I know it’s time to return since my daughters are older now- 

I cherish God's precious gift of life and feel very honored that He would include me in any part of His creation process.
