Working within the childbirth industry since 2003, I have met and exceeded the standards for my LM and CPM accreditations within the state of Wisconsin and am an approved preceptor for educating aspiring midwives. I follow the philosophy that the midwife is an educator, social resource, emergency responder and the community creatrix who helps families gently birth the next generation, and participate in the lives of the families and children they care for. I encourage and support a women’s right to make personal decisions about their pregnancy and have control of their personal birthing experience in a calm, prepared, and professional birthing home.

I support your autonomy and right to your body, your baby and your birth experience, which may mean you disregard my “philosophy,” fully knowing that my dream is to co-create a community with you and share mutual support. Learn more about the Apron Strings Midwifery practice and birthing house.
