I am married and have three beautiful children. I had all of my children at home with the support of Jan as my midwife and my husband. Each of my births was a unique challenge for me. I feel I became a mother the moment I gave birth and that each birth taught me what I needed to be for each child.
I was born at home in Utah. I'm the youngest of six and the only one born at home. My Father actually read "Spiritual Midwifery", by Ina May Gaskin and felt he could help my Mother. I moved to Colorado when I was eight. I grew up in the Lakewood/Golden area and currently live in Conifer. I enjoy living in the foothills west of Denver. I love our community and mountain lifestyle.
Although having my three children at home has helped me in many ways as a midwife, it is my deep rooted belief that this is my life path that keeps me commitment to be “with women” during childbirth. This commitment drives me to be a good midwife and to support the longevity of midwifery in Colorado. I have supported and served on the Board on Directors of the Colorado Midwives Association as my way of continually working for the cause of midwifery.
