The truth is, I was scared of pregnancy and even more terrified of birth. My chiropractic dreams consisted of crossing my fingers I'd leave the profession soon and teach Anatomy & Physiology at a University. But then Charlotte came and my world turned upside down.

At 27 years old, I was pregnant for the first time and I hurt. Everywhere. For the whole pregnancy. We had taken a birth class, done all "the things" but when labor came and terms like "sunny side up, "over due", and "labor stall" were thrown out, I had no tools to help myself and my baby. Little did I know that experience would change my professional life and lead me to set out to teach women how to achieve their birth dreams, no matter how they want to birth. Today, I'm teaching labor classes geared towards parents learning how to problem solve during labor and running a busy and expanding prenatal chiropractic practice. You can also find me chasing after our girls and attempting to stop my husband from renovating every nook in our home.
