After eight years as a labor & delivery nurse, a few years traveling to hospitals along the west coast, the extreme gaps in care became way too evident. With information readily available at the tips of our fingers, women and their partners are coming in more and more educated and prepared. Never quite ready for the hospital experience that awaits them though. The results can carry over into postpartum and years and years of recovery, physically, mentally, emotionally, even spiritually.

I made it my mission to educate myself on the many ways women give birth, and have always given birth. An overwhelming respect for this transition and the birth of a baby ensued. I began sharing what I knew about the hospital (A LOT) and about birth with friends, guiding them through the maze and shining light on questions and opportunities, resources and support that they would have otherwise missed - to elevate their entire experience.

With the right preparation before and support during & after, women are giving birth with less interventions, less complications, and a higher level of joy - no matter where and how they decide to give birth to their precious baby.
