Low-risk pregnancy and birth are physiological, normal  yet transcendent events in the life of the expectant woman and her family.  Even though pregnancy, birth and the transition to life outside of the womb can be unpredictable it should be a safe, unique and an empowering event no matter the twists and turns that journey may take.

  Mothers must be the protagonist in the decision making process during the childbearing year. Babies deserve a safe, respectful and gentle start. While birthing families can be deeply involved in such important moment in everyone's life.

  I have a goal of providing evidence based, respectful and individualized care to low-risk individuals by supporting the Midwives Model of Care. The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes, which  includes:

​

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle

• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support

• Minimizing technological interventions

• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

​

 The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section

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

 I also really love serving Portuguese and Spanish speaking birthing families.
