I came to midwifery as a result of my own birth experiences, and my goal is to help other women have access to safe and sensitive care that meets their needs and is family centered. I gave birth to 6 of my 8 children at home and can relate from a personal standpoint to what an expectant family experiences during the childbearing year. I have attended over 300 births in the home, birth center, and hospital birth settings and am comfortable working in a variety of environments. I graduated from State University of New York at Stony Brook’s Nurse Midwifery program, with a master’s degree in nursing in December 2002 and am licensed to practice in both Illinois and Iowa. I accept clients from the greater Quad Cities area and will refer to other midwifery practices outside a one hour radius from the Quad Cities.
