Low-risk pregnancy and birth are natural, yet profound events in the lives of expectant women and their families. While pregnancy, childbirth, and the transition to life outside the womb can be unpredictable, they should always be safe, unique, and empowering experiences, regardless of any twists and turns along the way.

Mothers should take the lead in decision-making during the childbearing year. Babies deserve a respectful and gentle start, and birthing families should be actively involved in this crucial moment in everyone’s life.

​

My goal is to provide evidence-based, respectful, and individualized care to low-risk individuals by supporting the Midwives Model of Care.

This model recognizes that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes and includes:

- Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle.
- Offering individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, along with continuous hands-on support during labor, delivery, and postpartum.
- Minimizing unnecessary technological interventions.
- Identifying and referring women who need obstetrical attention.

Research shows that this woman-centered approach can significantly reduce the incidence of birth injuries, trauma, and cesarean sections.

 

Clients have the option to give birth in the comfort of their own home or to receive prenatal and postpartum care from a midwife while delivering in a hospital with a physician.

 

I am also passionate about serving Portuguese and Spanish-speaking birthing families, ensuring that all families feel supported and understood during this transformative time.
