Aura was exposed to midwifery at a very young age; some of her earliest memories are of her own mother preparing childbirth education classes as a student midwife herself. After the birth of her four children and attending her first birth in 2003 her passion for birth only grew, from birth photography to certifying and working as a birth and bereavement doula, she was fueled to become a midwife. She believes people deserve care and respect for their bodily autonomy and is directed by the passion to further assist women in the informed and empowered birth of  their choosing.

Aura attended Birthwise Midwifery School in 2019 until its closing then transferred to Midwives College of Utah where she obtained her Bachelors of Science in Midwifery and CPM in 2023.  During her studies, Aura has apprenticed with amazing midwives in Maine, Pennsylvania, and Uganda as part of her instruction into the profession.

In her spare time, Aura loves spending time with her family, gardening, preserving the harvest, and working with herbs.
