Welcome to my newly remodeled home on the web!  Building this site has truly been a labor of love and would not have been possible without the dedication and skill of  web designer Mark Forman (husband to Susan Linville, doula extraordinaire!) and photographer Nicole Aldridge of NZA Photography.  They are incredibly talented and skilled at what they do and I am lucky to count both of them as friends.  Mark is the most incredibly patient person ever–I started and stopped work on this project for months, but he was always willing to dive back in with patience and enthusiasm. Nicole took all of the photos on the site, and she orchestrated the craziest photo shoot ever with me and 10+ babies.  It was a little wild at times, but it got us some truly adorable images!

I’m new at this blogging thing.  My plan is to share interviews with area birth professionals (doulas, midwives, IBCLCs, L&D nurses, OBs, anesthesia providers, etc), commentary on birth trends, personal anecdotes and other stories of interest.  I’m really excited about sharing birth stories here, too–watch this space for more details on that.

Thanks for reading–there is so much more to come!  Stay tuned.
