Please note: Scheduling an appointment does not guarantee that KC Full Circle will be able to provide care for your pregnancy and birth. At your first appointment, the provider will evaluate your individual pregnancy and determine whether you are an ideal candidate for midwifery-based care or if you should be referred to a licensed obstetrician.

I truly felt a calling to become a midwife and provide personalized birth experiences. The joy of seeing couples become parents for the first time and the opportunity to create a memorable pregnancy experience is what drew me to the profession.

I’ve been a midwife for over seven years and worked in the hospital and birth center settings. Prior to becoming midwife I practiced for three years as an Oncology nurse.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Kansas and a dual degree in Midwifery and Women’s Health from Georgetown University. I also have received certifications in Basic Life Support for Healthcare Professionals through the American Heart Association as well as Neonatal Resuscitation through the American Academy of Pediatrics.

As a midwife I seek to develop relationships with my patients that are built on trust, compassion, and education. I recognize that each woman is a unique individual with unique needs and deserves personalized care. I prioritize listening to understand my patients’ needs and preferences and their healthcare goals.

I have been a part of over 400 births, many of which with minimal or no medications or interventions in a hospital and birth center setting. In addition, I had both of my boys at home and experienced a natural birth myself!
