I believe that conception, pregnancy, and birth is a normal physiological process and deeply spiritual journey. This process works best when interrupted as little as possible and when the informed decisions of the family and birthing mother are respected and upheld. Birth, although natural, is not without risk. A midwife’s job is to promote the health and well-being of the mother and baby by providing evidence-based care, minimizing interventions, and addressing any possible complications or risks as they occur. This is done through regular discussion and education about nutrition, exercise, symptoms experienced, and through hands-on clinical evaluation such as taking maternal vitals and palpation of the baby. The midwife and family will engage in shared-decision making to address any concerns. 

With this in mind, I am committed to ethical midwifery care based on the Midwives Model of Care and guided by the inherent dignity of each person. All clients will be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, and will receive individualized, trauma-informed care. Autonomy will always be upheld through education and shared decision-making, and nonmaleficence will guide the thoughtful use of interventions, which will be avoided unless truly necessary. Through beneficence, I strive to promote the well-being of both mother and child, supporting their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Rooted in justice, I am dedicated to providing equitable and inclusive care to all families, honoring their unique circumstances and needs.
