As a private practice midwife at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, I work in partnership with my clients to create individualized birth experiences where women feel supported, empowered and in charge of their health care. I want my clients to experience the feeling of being wholly supported in trusting their body’s instincts to guide their delivery. From our first conversation, we begin to build a relationship that lasts beyond the postpartum period and will support you during this important life transition. I encourage you to build a support team of your choosing and welcome the involvement of partners and family members in our appointments. I will provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health care. Together we will create a birth experience that meets your needs and supports your transition to parenthood.
