The three most beautiful sights: a potato garden in bloom, a ship in sail, and a woman after the birth of her child...
-Irish proverb
You're invited to view my passion...
I invite you to sit back, get comfortable, and visit every page. Look through all the beautiful pictures that I have taken over the years. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the bountiful services that I can offer you! As a pregnant & laboring woman, you will receive uninterrupted physical & emotional support. I will strive to help you fulfill your ideal birth plan. You will feel secure in your birth process with me, and I will help you make informed choices & decisions regarding your birth. The utmost respect will be granted to you and your partner, not only throughout the pregnancy, but throughout the labor & delivery as well.
A little bit about... ME!
It is my belief, (and I am passionate about it!!), that there is one thing everyone must experience in their lifetime. That is: the birth of a baby, in all its raw form and emotion. I believe it is one of the most humbling, reverent experiences and should not be missed. I will never take for granted the honor of being asked to attend a birth. It's a gift...and I warmly accept it every time. I work part time at a local hospital teaching childbirth classes to expectant couples. But I spend most of my days working from home, with my family. I have four beautiful children of my own and a wonderful, loving, supportive, husband! I am located in Ellington, Connecticut, and I serve at all of the hospitals in the area, including some in Massachusetts.
Whether this is your first birth or your fifth birth, we all have options. We all have the right to have a better birth experience. We have the choices to help us make our ideal birth happen. Many times I wish that I myself had, had a Doula! Not just because I am one, but because I truly know the value of having one! Sometimes it doesn’t always work out that way. Sometimes it falls short in our own minds. In the end, they will be your births. They will become your journey and your story to tell. That, in itself, will be special . . . Make it count!
