Safe & Sound Midwifery

Keep in touch with your midwife!

Please don't hesitate to call or email with questions, updates, or to cancel/ re-schedule an appointment. Remember, you have 24/7 access to me. If you have ANY concerns about your well-being or the well-being of your baby, please call or text me as soon as possible:

home office (508) 240-1223 OR   cell (804) 445-4130

The MANA Statistics Project

As your midwife, I will be asking you to either accept or decline to be included in this research. To learn more about the project, click here. To view or download the consent form, click here.

Please fill out The Birth Survey!

After your Birth Day (finally!) comes and goes and life settles down, don't forget to go online to complete  The Birth Survey offered by CIMS. You have 3 years to complete the survey, which takes about 25-35 minutes and doesn't have to be done all at once. To go directly to the survey, click here:  www.thebirthsurvey.com

(Please note: You will have to manually enter my information, as my name will not come up in the drop-down box of licensed providers.)

Please Let Your People in Congress Know When You Have A Homebirth

I can provide you with all of the information you need, plus the postcard, to do this; just ask.

Want to view or download my Practice Guidelines?

I encourage you to do so, and feel free to ask me about them at any time. I abide by the Massachusetts Midwives Alliance Practice Guidelines.

Using Your Placenta

See my handout "Emotional Ups & Downs" for some basic information regarding placenta encapsulation, which is offered free of charge to all of my clients, no matter where you have your baby.

I also encourage you to do your own research on the many uses of your baby's placenta. One particularly good book is "Placenta: The Gift of Life," by Cornelia Enning. 

A useful website resource is www.placentabenefits.info.
