I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2004 with a degree in health education. I had my first birth unmedicated in the hospital. I certified as a Bradley Method childbirth educator in 2008, and I had my next three babies at home with a midwife.. I have experienced many labor scenarios personally, and have helped at over 240 births in home, birth center and hospital settings. 

 

Since 2011, I have been certified as a labor doula. In 2018 I started an internship with Mom's Milk BCS and passed the IBCLC exam to become a lactation consultant in 2020. 

​

In 2021, I started midwifery school through the Association of Texas Midwives. I completed the three year education component while training as a student midwife at a busy birth center and a home birth practice. I passed the NARM exam in the fall of 2023 and got licensed as a midwife in Texas in December 2023. 

​

As a midwife, I see clients in their homes for their prenatal care. I bring my background as an educator to help prepare you for your home birth. In the event of a transport, I go with you to the hospital. My years as a doula come into play there to help advocate for you. Postpartum, my background as an IBCLC will also help you with your breastfeeding goals.
