I had a difficult labor myself, and looking back I realize that I was not fully prepared or educated on laboring/birthing. From that experience, I knew I wanted to be the support to others that I wished I had during my labor experience. My goal is to provide my clients security, comfort and support in the most vulnerable times of their lives.
