I am a certified nurse midwife who has been committed to patient care since graduating in 2007. I graduated from Salisbury University in 2006 with my BSN and then headed straight to Georgetown University for my master’s degree in Nurse Midwifery. I graduated from Georgetown in 2007 and have been delivering babies and caring for women across their lifespan ever since. I have worked in five different practice settings in two states which has given me experiences across the spectrum of healthcare preferences. I am experienced in low-risk natural childbirth as well as high risk, highly medicalized childbirth. I have also enjoyed taking care of teens and women for their gynecological needs. I have loved meeting other midwives across the span of my career and feel passionately about midwifery mentorship. 

In 2022, I created Mindful Midwifery with the goal of providing expert taught women’s health classes. For over two years, childbirth, puberty and menopause classes were the sole business offerings. From July of 2024, I expanded Mindful Midwifery services to prenatal, postpartum and gynecological care. This fulfilling chapter of the business model came to and end in October of 2025 when a pardigm shift in the obstetric care locally led me to shift my focus back to the hospital setting. 

Now, Mindful Midwifery’s focus is supporting midwives and their patients in expanding understanding and appreciation of midwifery care. Mindful Midwifery Presents: The Labor Behind Labor Podcast was launched in December of 2025. This podcast focuses on midwives lives both professionally and personally. I have enjoyed interviewing midwives about a range of topics and I hope their wisdom shines through each episode. Season 1 completed in May of 2026 and Season 2 will launch in October 2026. In the meantime, Mindful Midwifery Presents: Calm, Collected & Consented Childbirth will launch in the summer of 2026. This podcast focuses on childbirth education through the lense of greater knowledge usually leads to less anxiety and realistic expectations, flexibility and intact support systems are the keys to safer and healthier childbirth experiences.
