I believe birth is a powerful, transformative experience and I felt called to it at an early age. My philosophy of care is rooted in a holistic, informed-choice, and evidence-based approach. Each pregnancy and birth are unique and, in my opinion, necessitate individualized care. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside clients during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys and I strive to cultivate a trusting, authentic, and meaningful connection with my clients as I support them during the childbearing year.

I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) and a Licensed Lay Midwife (LLM) through the state of Arkansas. I have a BA from the University of Arkansas and an MFA from New York University.

I live in Fayetteville with my husband and our daughter. When I’m not at a birth, I enjoy writing, cooking, reading, being in nature, spending time with my loved ones, dancing, and eating dark chocolate.
