Tending to You and Your Needs on This Journey of Birth
![]() Definition of "Tending": The work of caring for or attending to someone or something
Beliefs: I believe in a woman’s power to give birth. I believe that a woman can overcome fear and uncertainty with the help of good support which includes informational, physical and emotional dimensions. I believe that learning from and with other woman is essential in creating camaraderie, whether this is accomplished through the reading of other woman’s personal accounts, through friendships in your life, or through mentors that you trust. I believe that every woman is unique and therefore will have different preferences, thought processes, and methods for her journey through life. I believe that comfort, wisdom, and strength can be drawn from women tending to other women. I believe that a family should be involved in the birth of their child, but that ultimately the mother who is delivering the baby will need to make the childbirth choices that will set her on the journey of a positive birth that she can cherish forever. I believe in tending to you because you deserve to have someone care for you as you bring life into the world. |


Mission Statement: My desire is to equip and empower women and their families as they embark on the journey of birth. My passion is to provide genuine heartfelt care, as well as knowledgeable assistance to those who are welcoming new life into the world. My goal is to help women to have the positive birthing experience that they deserve and to support the families who are transitioning with the growth of a child. I value my clients and treat them with respect, compassion, and consideration at all times. I am dedicated to cultivating wellness and to tending to the clients’ individual needs in a personal and professional manner. It is with a positive attitude, encouraging nature, and firm integrity that I provide whole-hearted service to my clients.
