About Me

I'm the founder and owner of Natural Birth Solutions. My passion is educating women and their birth companions so that they know what their options are for labor and birth.  Only when you know your options can you actually give informed consent.  This way women can create thier own best pregnancy and birth. 

I am the mom of four young men.  I've birthed in three different states with 2 OB's and a Midwife.  My births ranged from traumatic to fantastic.  I have a  degree in Psychology and a background in biofeedback.  All of these things came together when I found  the HypnoBirthing natural childbirth method  while I was pregnant with my fourth son 17 years ago.  

I was trained by the founder of HypnoBirthing. Marie Mongan in 2007.  Later I was trained by Jenny West, author of "The Complete Dummy's Guide to Natural Birth", to be a doula and to encapsulate placenta.  Now, I read everything I can get my hands on related to natural birth.  I've  taken extra certifications like  "Spinning Babies" and "Evidence Based Birth". I'm also proud to say I've become a certified  Body Ready Method Pro as well. 

I've worked with hundreds of moms in some way over he last 18 years and I cherish every single one them.  I've been invited into many a family's most intimate space during labor, birth and after.  

Helping, teaching and supporting pregnant women and their partners is what makes me happy!  

I believe that pregnancy is a natural and beautiful experience that should be embraced with joy and excitement.  Birth is not a medical event!

Over the last 17 years I've attended home births, and hospital births where I've learned from the doctors, nurses and midwives who attended "my moms".  

Beautiful, physiological birth in a quiet, dim and safe enviromnent can be crafted for the easiest and most pwerful experience.  While I am not against medications, I consider myself a "wholistic" doula. Since mind, body and soul must all be aligned in order for a woman to have the best opportunity to have an unintervened birth, I teach my moms about building the perfect birth team. 

I love to help moms who are intending to use holistic natural methods to remain calm and comfortable.  "My moms", as I like to call them, aren't afraid to question, resist and even rebel a little against the status quo. They want the least interventions while still remaining open to whatever turn their birthing might take.
