I believe that birth is a very personal experience and therefore, strive to provide you with the tried and true tools and most current information to help you create the most positive birth experience. I will work with you to find the techniques that best suit you and your labor coach and help you both build your confidence and ability so that you are prepared and eager to enjoy the big "birth-day".
