Supporting someone during a transformative and profound experience is deeply meaningful to me. Building relationships with patients, empowering them with information, witnessing their strengths, and creating positive health care experiences are the most rewarding parts of my job. Midwifery care focuses on treating the whole person. My approach revolves around the individual and I deeply respect patient autonomy. You know what is best for yourself—this is your body, your baby and your birth. I want to partner with you in your care and ensure you feel heard and fully informed.
