I am a Child of God, a wife and a mother. My family lives in Mansfield, Texas. Breastfeeding and birth are my passions! I’ve personally experienced hospital delivery with epidural, a breech baby, cesarean delivery, VBAC (at home, three times), a NICU baby, breast refusal, exclusive pumping, bottle refusal, “extended” breastfeeding, tongue and lip ties, colic, constant nursing, poor latch, damaged nipples, staying at home with children, and going back to work after baby. I have been a registered nurse since 2008, a certified lactation counselor since 2015, an out of hospital birth assistant since 2018, a certified doula/birthkeeper since 2019, a certified placenta preparation specialist since 2019, a certified virtual doula since 2019, and a trauma informed birth professional since 2019.Ā I am now (since 2024) a Licensed Midwife (LM) in the state of Texas & a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). Although I am a registered nurse, I did not choose to become a certified nurse midwife but rather completed a traditional apprenticeship with an experienced out of hospital traditionally trained CPM. I offer personalized midwifery care for those desiring home birth.Ā
