Welcome! I walk with women and families for sovereign birth. The birth is usually at home, and could be at another space free from the medical model, such as an airb.

*************

Here's what happens when I'm your midwife.

To begin we create a trust-based relationship at our pre-birth connection sessions. We may:

* see why birth works best when it's not managed

* deprogram from in-system indoctrination

* I get to know your partner and family

* encourage a healthy pregnancy

* clarify prenatal care options: wild pregnancy*, self-testing, in-system tests 

* clarify who's invited to your birth space

* dive into variations of normal on pregnancy, birth, placentas, newborn appearance+

* explore your dreams, fears, concerns, prior birth stories

* yoga, reiki, share food, more

* tools of radical self-responsibility.

There is no agenda here.  We may end up just talking and walking together.

At your birth space, here's what happens

You are centered and exalted as you move freely through your birth process, give birth, and begin mothering your child earth-side. 

I'm present in my own authority as an intuitive and experienced birth witness.

I may:

- clear the energy field or pray with you, according to what serves you

- support you for labor, baby's emergence, placenta birth, and more

- help with children, partners, others 

- share my opinion 

- be one room away for most/all of your birth process

- stay with you post birth until you're snuggled in with your baby and things are cleaned up.

Postpartum

I may:

- nourish you

- listen as you integrate birth, rebirth, or anything 

- breastfeeding support + help with everything newborn

- ceremony

- help with older children, pets, household chores, errands.

- explore keeping your newborn wild or ways to present her/him to the system.

- I offer post birth support day-time, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for a few days/weeks post birth. Usually  these sessions are two to four hours.

To connect with me please choose from one of the following:

1-Sign up on the main page of this site for a Freebirth/Sovereign Birth Basics session.  (This is a paid session. If I end up serving you as a birthkeeper, midwife, or freebirth guide, then your payment will count towards the total owed for that service.)

2-Sign up for a free discovery session, also on the main page here, when you're already fully planning a sovereign birth and potentially would like to work with me.

We can meet in person when you're within 10 miles of Milwaukee or we can meet by zoom.
