Core Values
Mission Statement
My mission is to help women and their families take authentic ownership of their childbirth experience by providing education and faith-based support before, during, and after labor and delivery.
This mission is lived out in my daily life through loving my own family, living out my faith, supporting others, researching new evidence within the realm of childbirth, continual education, and living out my core values.
-
Evidence-Based
To epidural or to not epidural - that is the question. And I have the evidence to help you make an informed decision!
Everything I do in this job - from labor positions to helping you make a birth plan - is all based in a foundation of widely researched and sound evidence. You will have everything you need to make informed decisions about everything you, your family, and your doctor or midwife do.
-
Faithful
I chose the picture above for several reasons - the first being that my Catholic faith is foundational to who I am. Though I will never force my religion upon any of my clients, everything I do in my life is my best (and sometimes worst) attempt to spend eternity with God in the next.
A beloved daughter of God is who I am first, followed by wife, then by mother. I cannot - and will not - ignore this, and this business won’t either.
-
Family-Centered
I am of a firm belief that family is integral to who we are. Whether we are the one laboring physically to bring this baby into the world, or whether we are the father, grandmother, sister, brother, or friend emotionally laboring while we wait for the arrival of the little one, we all need each other.
This means I will do everything of my ability to empower those with the mother to help her labor through coaching, breathing exercises, and more.
-
Pro-Life
Foundational to my faith - and to myself - are pro-life values, from conception to natural death. This means in every case, I will do what is best to provide pregnant women with support throughout their pregnancies, offer comfort in times of uncertainty and distress, and ultimately help share those pro-life values with whoever is willing to listen.
-
Authentic (Transparent)
In every case, I try to be as authentic as I can. As a wife, I am transparent with my husband. As a mother, I am silly with my children. As a friend, I do my best to encourage and have fun. I have never found it worth my time to hide who I truly am from anyone, especially those who have entrusted me with seeing their own authentic selves.
Women should be empowered to be themselves - no matter how they may be perceived by others. I will help you achieve this.
-
Passionate
Finally, the entire reason this project was started in the first place. I am passionate about childbirth. I am passionate about transparency. I am passionate about empowering families. I am passionate about my faith. I am passionate about protecting the innocent. I am passionate about respecting others. I am passionate about you and your story. Let’s passionately deliver the life you have started.
