My journey into birthwork began long before I ever realized it would become my life’s calling. My mother, Angela, was a birthworker, a true caregiver whose presence brought peace wherever she went. As an only child, I had the joy of traveling with her to clients’ homes and hospitals, watching her care for families with such tenderness. Seeing the excitement in parents’ eyes and the calm confidence in hers was absolutely inspiring. Those early experiences shaped how I understand the power of support, compassion, and the sacredness of bringing life into the world.
