Birth Beautiful Detroit

About Me

My journey began shortly after finishing a tour with the U.S. Peace Corps in Honduras, Central America. I birthed my eldest daughter in my in-law's home. It was the most amazing experience and it fueled my passion to become a midwife. I returned to my home city of Detroit, Michigan to fulfill the calling of becoming a traditional midwife. In 2015 I began my home birth midwifery practice and became a Licensed Certified Professional Midwife (CPM LM).  

Over the past 27 years, I have assisted at nearly 500 births including the births my grandchildren.  I attend and have attended vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC), breech and twins*

Prior to beginning my practice, I worked for a combined 18 years as a paramedic with the Detroit Fire Department and in the emergency department of St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital.  I am co-founder, along with Cynthia Jackson and Jahmana Selassie, of the Mosiac Midwifery Collective and can provide care for Spanish speaking families
