HERBALIST + MIDWIFE

Hi! I’m here to support and guide you during your pregnancy and postpartum year.

Midwifery called me to help babies have a gentle start in life. Midwives create space that feels natural and supportive, just like the mother's womb.

I love connecting with nature. Plants have guided me to share herbal medicine through women’s health and birth.

You can usually find me eating weeds and making tinctures when I'm not holding babies (or chasing my growing toddler).

MIDWIFE CARE IN AUSTIN + BASTROP, TX

Understanding your body and how it grows during pregnancy is empowering and transformative.

PRENATAL CARE

Monthly prenatal visits through 28 weeks explore new and relevant topics to your stage in pregnancy. We discuss health and lifestyle goals as well as the clinical aspects of standard midwifery care.

We visit more often in the 3rd trimester, covering all physical and emotional care including referrals to medical practitioners as needed for care outside of normal conditions.

LABOR & BIRTH

Your midwife supports you through all aspects of labor, birth and immediate postpartum. Our midwives are available by phone and in person to monitor you and baby. All equipment and supplies are brought to your home. 

POSTPARTUM

After the baby is born, the fun truly begins! We monitor you and baby for 6 weeks postpartum and provide well women care at the final visit. Guidance on diet, pelvic floor health, and breast care are included in a healthy postpartum period.

NEWBORN CARE

Support for the first 6 weeks of life, including guidance on breastfeeding, normal newborn activity and growth is offered. We ensure space for bonding at each new transition. Quiet and gentle support is offered as women blossom into their unique style of mother.

Schedule a call, video chat or in-person meeting to discuss your home birth. When you book, you’ll receive a detailed philosophy of care with pricing and package information.

Look forward to meeting you!
