I believe that birth is an incredible moment in your life. I hope that in those moments you’ll be able to see your own strength, determination, and courage. But the work is also hard and questioning yourself is normal, which makes it a vulnerable time as well. So I think it is important to be surrounded by people who care and respect you. People who will support you as you find your way through the labor process–because every labor is different! I also believe that how someone is treated in labor has a large impact on whether they are encouraged by the experience or not. .

Throughout my training, I have worked with many families in a variety of settings–from yurts and RVs to the house next door in a subdivision. I love the uniqueness that is found when you’re encouraged to create your own safe birth space! I have a strong desire to educate clients about their options so that each family can make their own decisions about what is right for them. As a licensed CPM, I am thankful that I can continue to encourage each person I work with to be in charge of their own birth experience.
I was born in Knoxville and now live with my husband and four kids in the house my grandparents built–so needless to say this place is home to me! I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and have my Masters in Public Health because I always want to be learning how to help clients more. I love to read and craft and hang out with my people. I find there are never enough hours in the day for all of the things I want to do!

For over 17 years, I have had the privilege of being a midwife, guiding families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. It has been an incredible privilege to watch families grow and be welcomed into their story.

My approach to midwifery is rooted in holistic, evidence-based practices. I prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with our clients, fostering an environment of open communication, and tailoring care plans to meet their unique needs and desires. Every birth is a sacred, transformative experience, and I am committed to creating a safe, respectful, and empowering space for all individuals and families I have the honor of serving. My ultimate goal is to ensure that every birthing person feels empowered, heard, respected, and support throughout their care.
On a personal note, I am a proud mother of five wonderful children and have the joy of having a son-in-law as part of our family. My husband, Ben, has been my steadfast companion for 24 years, supporting me in my midwifery journey. As a family, we share a love for the outdoors & are excited to explore all that TN has to offer.

When I’m not working, you can find me diving into a good book, hitting the volleyball court (or cheering from the sidelines!), exploring hiking trails, or cooking up something delicious. I’m a proud mom to three curious, creative, and captivating girls, and I’ve been married to my hottie husband for 15 years. I truly love this work, and I can’t wait to hear each of your unique stories!
