In 2012, I again wanted something more, and I began my journey into midwifery. I completed coursework with Midwife To Be, and an apprenticeship with the late Rebekah Knapp.

In 2015, I started my own practice. I love serving women on this most vulnerable and empowering journey into motherhood. I continue to be astounded at the amazing love and courage it takes to bring a baby into the world. I am honored to be a guide and a protector of this rite of passage.

I was born and raised in the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. I am a wife, a mother, and grandmother. My husband is my biggest supporter and we have been married more than 30 years. I homeschooled my 4 amazing children, and am loving being a grandmother. When I am not engrossed in birth work and catching babies, I enjoy spending time with my family, kayaking & boating, and enjoying beautiful Minnesota.

I am always seeking to learn more about pregnancy, birth, and babies. I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through the North American Registry of Midwives and licensed by the State of Minnesota. I have completed Basic Disaster Birth Support Training, and maintain NRP and CPR certifications.
