I believe we are created by a loving God. I believe God created women to be powerful, strong beings. He created them to carry and sustain life, to give birth to that life, and to nurture, raise, and pass on her knowledge to that life. She has a unique place in His order. He gave this special ability to women and women only.

I believe it is very important to help a birthing woman know and remember just what power she has been given and that her body was created to handle the task at hand. And I believe that women should come alongside of the birthing mother and share their power, their wisdom and knowledge, and their support to help the mother to find her inner power and strength. I didn’t know this was possible until I was at my first homebirth 12 years ago. As a group of women and my friend’s husband gathered in that room to help this woman bring her fifth child into the world, I experienced something so deeply profound, so intensely feminine, so truly empowering, it can only be described as life-changing. That group of women, including myself, helped her to remember that power and strength that she was created with. We encouraged her, nourished her, and nurtured her.

In that moment of time, something deep inside of me was awakened. A stirring regarding the community of women, the miracle of birth, the true empowerment of what it means to be a woman. I knew that it was something I craved to be a part of and that craving, that desire continues to grow and expand within me.

I have spent a few years digging deep, gaining more knowledge, and calling on the wisdom that this life has already given me to pursue this calling. I am thankful for the challenge and looking forward to what lies in store.

I want to pass on the passion for the wonderment of birth, in all its forms. I want to help women see that they are not patients who are in need of medical care, but women empowered by their Creator to grow, sustain, and give birth to life. I want to help her find her unique way of laboring and birth…regardless of whether it is her first child or her 12^th. So, yes, I want to help her do her dance, her way, whatever way that may be. I want to be transparent and open with her, I want her to be my focus for however long it takes, and be that reflection to her.
