Solace Birth Services and Collective can be found in downtown Quakertown in the heart of Bucks County, PA.
I reside in beautiful Bucks County. I am a mom to two amazing children, a wife to my greatest supporter, and, best, part of a family of great love. They are the backbone of my birth work, helping me protect and support this transformative time for a woman and her expanding role and family.
I came to birth work in my journey to parenthood, approaching pregnancy and birth with desires that didn’t fit into the standard medical model of birth. It continued into parenting as I found the standard way so far from what I wished for my family and landed in all the alternatives. I remember my midwife saying, “You birth how you live” and that continues to hold true.
My role in birth work has evolved, starting as a busy birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, home birth midwife assistant and now a midwife, providing prenatal care for women who are low-risk, healthy, and opting for an out-of-hospital experience to meet their baby. I’ve attended over 300 births in my career to date.
I am an open book, as transparent as they come, and happy to help you discover if we are a good fit. I am always excited to learn about your unique journey to pregnancy and parenthood. This transition is monumental and worthy of nothing but kindness, respectful care, and loving support, which I am honored to provide.
Planning on home birth and want me to be a part of your prenatal care team and birth team, let’s chat!
I have been supporting births since 2016, supporting physiological births in all settings. I have enjoyed guiding expecting women on ways to remain in control of their body, their baby and their birth in a system that likes to take that power away.
My role expanded as I developed relationships with the midwives I worked with, who took me under their wing and helped me see I could do more. In 2019, I started picking up new skills and supporting home birth midwives as an assistant. This experience brought a new awareness to my abilities and interests, and I started pursuing my education in midwifery.
I joined the National College for Midwifery in early 2022 for didactic support and worked through NARM PEP requirements by attending in-person skill training and 2-year preceptorships with CPMs, CNMs, and traditional midwives in both PA and NJ.
My experience changes weekly with each birth. I learn something new at every birth and approach each birth as a unique experience since each pregnancy, each woman’s body and each baby is unique.
