About us

I am born and raised in Greenfield, Massachusetts. I attended Greenfield High School, and am currently attending Greenfield Community College. Birth is my passion, and I plan on pursuing a career in midwifery once I finish my schooling. I currently attend births all over Western MA.

I am not a medical provider. I provide relief and comfort prenatally, during labor, and postpartum. I may use techniques such as back rubs, aromatherapy, guided meditation, or movement to help ease you through your birth experience. My goal is to make that special day as easy as possible for you. 

Overall, people who have continuous support during childbirth experience a

• 25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean
  
• 8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
  
• 10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
  
• 38% decrease in the baby's risk of a low five minute Apgar score
  
• 31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience
  
• Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average
