About Chris

I look forward to meeting you! I became a midwife in 1989 to provide care for mothers from conception through delivery and 6 weeks postpartum, as well as naturopathic education. I believe that, with God, all things are possible. If you are seeking alternatives, I can help. So after a thorough assessment and acknowledgment of all potential risks, I will help anyone I can to have a gentle home birth.
