Home Birth
​The physical, emotional, and spiritual changes during the childbearing year are profound for many. Through every interaction my goal is to foster positive integration of these changes into your self and family identity. I work with you, side by side, to have a safe and satisfying birth. I am there every step of the way.

Fortunately, Connecticut families planning homebirth have a variety of midwifery practices to choose from. While I hope you will feel at home with Magnolia Midwifery, it is important to choose a birth site and midwife that matches your values and beliefs. Learn more about the benefits of homebirth.
