About the Instructor

I first became passionate about childbirth while studying in San Jose, Costa Rica, and volunteered as a labor companion there in a public hospital. With an eye toward studying midwifery, I obtained a Bachelor's of Science degree in Nursing from the University of Southern Maine in 1997.

I experienced the amazing power of natural childbirth during the births of my two sons. I believe every woman deserves to experience the surge of confidence that comes from birthing naturally. To that end, I received by HypnoBirthing® training from veteran instructor Jessica Porter in 2007.

I live, work, and play on Munjoy Hill in Portland with my husband Kevin and our two homeschooled sons Henry and Andrew.
