I was a midwife before I had my own children, and still it was hard.
Laboring, giving birth, breastfeeding, newborn care, making parenting choices—all of it.
Over the past 16 years, I've cared for thousands of families—from large New York City hospitals to attending water births in Vermont. As a Yale-trained, hospital-based midwife and clinical instructor for resident physicians, I am well-versed in modern obstetrics. My clients appreciate that I blend my medical background with a passion for holistic care.

Mad River Birth and Wellness
A new paradigm for pregnancy care.
The name "Mad River Birth and Wellness" comes from the beautiful valley where I live with my family in Vermont. On a side note, my second baby was born so quickly, he was nearly born on the banks of the Mad River!
I started Mad River Birth and Wellness in order to create a critical added layer to pregnancy care. I know that most people are in dire need of more guidance, preparation, and heart-centered support.
