Professional
I am passionate about providing individualized, evidence-based care and ongoing Informed Consent. I adhere to the Midwives Model of Care outlined by the Midwives Alliance of North America. I do my best to stay current with evidence-based research in midwifery care.
I hold a bachelors degree from the University of Vermont. I later graduated with another degree in midwifery from the MEAC-accredited Midwives College of Utah. I hold the CPM designation and a Utah license to practice and hold between 5,000-10,000 documented clinical hours. I began as a staff midwife for a birth center in Keene, NH while operating a rural Vermont practice. Once in Utah, I worked for the busiest non-licensed midwife in the state and then I covered a more medically-minded birth center in Layton where we did 60-80 courses of care (births) annually. I am former clinical director, staff midwife & preceptor having oversaw the student program at a newer birth center in South Ogden in addition to offering home birth to my clients out of my Salt Lake private practice. I do hold birth center privileges at a Salt Lake clinical site for an additional facility fee paid directly to the site of approximately $1000 in addition to my regular fee. Contact me for details on this – everyone has chosen home birth after we discuss the option.
I offer services to families within an hour of my location, Sugarhouse, in Salt Lake City.
Personal Info
I have five children (two adults, three at home) and live in the Sugar House area of Salt Lake City. We are a winter-loving family and can often be found recreating on the ski slopes or in the back country. Summers we like to sail on the Jordanelle with Park City Sailing Association

Education
University of Vermont 1992-1996
I graduated from the Kalkin School of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Later, I contemplated an MBA and completed masters level coursework in International Business Relations, only to decide a short while later that I wanted to serve women and families as a midwife in the manner in which I was served as I bore children. Making the shift toward midwifery education and earning another degree was an important turning point in my life and family.

I completed an intensive academic program and 1400 documented clinical hours, earned a degree in Midwifery and the CPM designation awarded by NARM (North American Registry of Midwives).
