For over a decade, I’ve been deeply immersed in my local birth community, bringing with me over 25+ years of experience in the medical field. As a licensed midwife (LDEM) and certified professional midwife (CPM) in Utah, I’ve dedicated myself to providing exemplary care to expectant families. Additionally, my extensive background as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and certified phlebotomist further enriches my practice.
As a mother of four wonderful children, two of whom were peacefully welcomed into the world outside of a hospital setting—one at home and the other in a birthing center—I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the incredible capabilities of the human body during labor and delivery. Each birth has brought its own unique beauty and lessons.
Being a midwife has been a deeply fulfilling journey for me. I’m passionate about offering diverse birthing options to families in my community, and I’m continually amazed by the miracles of birth that unfold before me. It brings me immense joy to support individuals as they recognize their strength and power during this transformative experience. I consider it an honor to be a part of these sacred moments that forever shape families’ lives and generations to come.

Childbirth has been important to me for as long as I can remember. As the daughter of a natural childbirth teacher, and big sister to two homebirthed babies, I’ve always had the sense that birth was one of the most awesome and significant things that could happen in life. The births of my own six children further taught me that it really matters who is with us when we birth—that our personal desires and philosophy, the birthplace, and those we choose to support us must work in harmony to create the optimal environment for a safe, loving and empowering birth experience. I was blessed to have midwives support me in birthing the way that I felt was best, and I’m so glad to be able to pay this forward.
I officially began my training in 2018 in a self-paced midwifery course, and then joined Sweet Moments Birth in 2020, adding hands-on training and experience to my coursework. I’ve been able to get to know, witness and support some of the most amazing people, and watch them tap into deep reservoirs of strength and intuition as they grow, birth, and parent their babies. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to help offer excellent comprehensive, personalized, and holistic midwifery care to the families in our community.

Student Midwife
I’ve been very blessed to grow up in a family where I was taught to trust my intuition and the body’s divine design. Because of my family background, pregnancy and childbirth drew me in and after taking a birth doula class I fell in love with the empowerment that comes with carrying a child and bringing them earth side. I was able to experience this first hand as a doula and solidified my desire to be a birth worker.

Approaching life in a holistic way and connecting mind body and spirit is so important to me so when it came to my own infertility, I was ready to dive into healing. Through healing, I was amazed at my body’s strength and capabilities and became pregnant! During my own pregnancy and then home birth, I felt the love, support, and trust that came from my midwives and I knew it was my calling to hold mothers in a similar way. I am so excited to be a Student Midwife here at Sweet Moments Birth! It is a honor to be a witness and to support you and your family in this sacred space.

Student Midwife
As the daughter of a doula and the eldest of six siblings (two of whom were born at home) I have been immersed in the world of pregnancy and birth for as long as I can remember. Attending the birth of my youngest sister solidified my dream of becoming a midwife. Growing up, I was inspired by the midwife who delivered my sisters and by my mother’s experiences as both a doula and a mother. These formative moments shaped my passion for the incredible journey of childbirth.
Now, as a student midwife, I’ve learned more than I ever imagined possible. I’m eager to continue growing in this field and to witness the empowering, transformative, and humbling experiences that birth offers.

Student Midwife
I’m a mother of four from Northern Utah with a deep passion for human growth, early development, and the transformative journey of parenthood. As I reflect on my own birth experiences, I realize how much I would have benefited from having more information, support, and understanding during those pivotal moments. This reflection has fueled my desire to create a positive impact in the lives of other women and families.
I am committed to learning everything I can about pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood development to be a source of guidance and encouragement. My goal is to empower families with knowledge, advocate for informed choices, and provide compassionate support as they navigate these life-changing experiences. I believe that with the right resources and a strong support system, families can thrive, and I want to be part of that journey for others.
