How the Lord led me here.
2016
Becoming a doula
After my first son was born, I became a doula and have supported hundreds of families.
Nursing
A bigger picture
As a cardiac nurse, I came to love holistic health and the body's God-designed ability to heal.
2025
Midwife at home
I earned national certification through NARM, registered with the State of Colorado and founded Brave Arrows Midwifery.
2019
Birth centers
As a nurse birth assistant at Colorado birth centers, I joined my nursing skills with hands-on physiologic birth.
My philosophy
"A good midwife watches the pool carefully and only jumps in when she is truly needed."
Birth isn't a medical event waiting for something to go wrong. It's a normal process designed by God. My goal is a peaceful, safe space where you feel supported, informed and empowered, with a team that is always prepared to act when it matters.
Experience you can trust.
In more than 10 years of birth work since 2016, as a doula and as a nurse birth assistant at birth centers, I've been present for births of every kind: natural physiologic births, homebirths, water births, VBACs, and birth center and hospital births. That experience helps me recognize normal birth and notice early when a mother or baby needs more support.
300+ births across my career
As a homebirth midwife, I attend community births in low-risk situations only. If your pregnancy needs a higher level of care, I'll help you move to the right provider, and I'd still love to support you postpartum.
For healthy, low-risk pregnancies
When I'm not at a birth, you'll find me homeschooling our five children, tending our small farmette and soaking up time with my family. Serving women through pregnancy, birth and motherhood is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Life on our little farmette
“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.”
PSALM 127:4
Every child is a gift from the Lord, sent out into the world with purpose. That’s the heart behind our name, and behind every birth we attend.
