she/her
I am passionate about accessible, sustainable midwifery care for all people, all bodies, and all families.
This midwife fully supports the radical black-and-brown-led efforts to revitalize the culture of midwifery in the South, and I am committed to forever learning how to competently, compassionately care for the whole person/family/experience in whatever ways needed or wanted—from fertility to birth and beyond.
