cell phone: 801-644-2154
Bio: I presently teach classes in the Ogden area and for McKay-Dee Hospital. I have enjoyed assisting in improving the awareness of natural birth in the medical community in this area. My basic philosophy is to assist women and couples in creating the
experience they desire for their family by supporting them through education, healing and sharing my faith that parenthood is meant to be an easier, more comfortable and even enjoyable experience. I believe that if we listen to our inner guidance and follow natures way of parenting, beginning during pregnancy and continuing through birth and beyond, that our experience, even if not easy at first, will lead us to amazing fulfillment and peace as individuals, couples and families. I believe Heavenly Father would not ask us to be married, have children and be parents and not give us clear guidance in these endeavors. I enjoy sharing my experiences and the many discoveries I have made through my personal experience, professional experiences and educational endeavors. Rates are posted on my website.

My first 2 children were born in the hospital, and my last 2 were born at home. I want to help you create a beautiful memory of your baby’s birth. Also, at many births I have attended, there lacks a person who’s job it is to work behind the scenes to just make everyone is comfortable. You planned and coordinated your wedding so it would run smoothly. Why not do the same for your birth?
