I started my path toward midwifery at Emory University, enrolling in the nursing and the global health tract. After finding myself fascinated while reading about the physiology of the pregnant body, and observing a very sterile birth that felt very devoid of sacredness, I enrolled in the Nurse Midwife program, though not fully aware of what a midwife does. Years later, I can confidently say that I was meant to become a midwife. My life goals of coming alongside people through difficult times, of providing holistic and hands-on care, and of caring about the experience of life journeys all fit this special profession. I also hold a prior degree in Biology from Taylor University, and have never gotten over my fascination with plants and primal animal nature!

After graduation as a Nurse Midwife, I worked in Cookeville TN, attending hospital and birth center births. Thereafter, I followed my love for Africa and taught midwives for a year in Malawi and worked as a midwife in a Doctors without Borders hospital in South Sudan. In 2015, I returned and studied perinatal massage and worked briefly at Madisonville TN’s rural birth center. I also worked as a Labor, Postpartum and Baby nurse. In 2016, I returned to Atlanta to help open Atlanta Birth Center. After a few years, I transitioned away to "shiftwork" so I could open my home to foster, and I worked overnight as a baby nurse at people’s homes and taught at Emory. I finished a Doctorate in Naturopathy in 2019.  I opened Moonlight Midwifery in 2019, and am excited to be living out my lifelong dream of attending home-sweet-homebirth. In 2020 I got a commercial space in Oakhurst to offer naturopathic women’s health visit, and I call this branch of my practice “Wild Herb.” In 2024 I studied Feminine Embodiment Coaching, which ties together so much of how I believe we are meant to be engaging in ourselves and physical and spiritual people. In 2025 I started writing a book called "The Art of Midwifing" to document the wisdom that has been lost to the medical system, and to guide the new midwives. I've been able to devote myself intensely to learning birth and how to midwife it, and now I feel a shift into my role to expand this wisdom and go deeper into how to delivery midwifery care better, both in my practice, and in this world. Someone recently told me, you are "serious" when it comes to birth... and I said, "Yes I am. That will be my new tagline. I am very serious that birth matters." I believe it is the call of the babies to me, and women benefit from me orienting myself to heal the earth by trying to get healthy, peaceful pregnancies and births for the world's soul's landing earthside.

My hobbies include gardening, tennis, hiking, writing, pottery and being in nature. On Sundays I rotate gardening, going to farmers markets or attending church, or do all! In 2025 I took time off homebirth to travel and enjoyed my new camper, a retro-styled airstream.  I have an Australian Labradoodle named Max and he is the best! When I can get to Ohio, I love seeing my family and all my nieces and nephews. I do not have kids, not by choice, but by life journey, and my current orientation is to personally embody The Midwife rather than The Mother. 

This path of being a midwife has been enriching, sometimes hard, and yet fully embodies the gifting of who I am. Life is really a journey, and working the different jobs of a midwife has been a journey too. I think homebirth is so resonant with me and what I think this world needs that I'll always be switching from my car having my adventure bags to my birth bags! In the future, you'll see me posting what times of the year I am engaging fully in being on-call as a homebirth midwife, and what parts of the year I am prioritizing being available to other things, and not taking births. I may be doing some midwife shifts at Atlanta Birth Center, focusing on my women's health services or travelling and writing. I'm honoring myself and how I work best with these seasonal shifts. Most likely, since I'm a Leo and have lots of Summer energy, I'll probably be adventuring and creating rather than being on-call for homebirth. Plus, September and October are the busiest birth months (Jan, Feb conception) so I've got to get my energy up for those months!
