What I belive. What I do.
Scope of Practice
I believe birth is a radical, transformative experience, and that each fertility journey has its own story to write.
My goal is to provide professional support, resources, and information, so that you feel safe, comfortable, respected, powerful, and informed at each juncture you encounter over the course of our time together. As a birth keeper it is my place to respect and honor your wishes including, but not limited to: birthing at home, abortion, birthing in hospital, cesarean, surrogacy, etc...
I do not provide medical advice, or perform any procedures.
I am here to ask you questions, listen to your concerns and desires, and help prepare you for this next chapter.
