I am a Certified Professional Midwife, licensed in the state of Virginia to serve women through pregnancy and childbirth as well as well-woman care and postpartum. My philosophy of birth is that women are made to have children. Our bodies are made fearfully & wonderfully... and if you are a low risk healthy woman, having a home birth is a great choice for your pregnancy care!
Oftentimes our culture paints a picture of birth as a broken system in our bodies, needing fixing. This is not true. Birth works best when left unhindered in the comfort of your own home. Your body is able to relax, and let go - and do the work that is called “labor”. I am there to guard your space and have a watchful eye and make sure that all is going well and you and baby remain safe.
My office (cottage) is located in Strasburg, Virginia, next to my home. I serve women up and down Interstate 81 (north and south) and over to Front Royal, up to an hour distance from my home. Exceptions are made on occasion.
Upon meeting and consulting (for free), I will discuss with you about the practice and give you some forms and handouts. You are under no obligation to me until you sign an Informed Consent form as well as a Financial Agreement form. Here are a few forms to get your started, if you would like to set up a time to meet in person. Print these and bring with you.
Go to the About Us page to read more about the Blessing God’s Way Home Birth Care team - we look forward to meeting you.
We offer Home Birth Information Nights periodically. Please check the calendar page for date and times of those great meetings. Invite friends and family members who might not be as enthusiastic about home birth midwifery care.
