Body Talk

A woman's health begins with her knowledge and awareness of self, which is why I prioritize practicing in a manner that aims to educate and empower women about their bodies. In my approach, I encourage women to deepen their connection with themselves, fostering a sense of self-awareness and understanding. Throughout the care I provide, I take the time to explain various aspects of a woman's health, ensuring that she feels informed and supported. I always invite questions and thoughts, valuing open communication and active participation in a woman's healthcare journey.

Furthermore, I strongly believe in a community model of care, recognizing the importance of integrating other practitioners and their expertise when appropriate. Each individual has unique healthcare needs and preferences, and by collaborating with other professionals, we can ensure comprehensive and holistic care. Whether it's seeking guidance from a nutritionist, consulting with a mental health specialist, or collaborating with other midwives, I am dedicated to facilitating a collaborative approach that addresses all aspects of a woman's well-being.

In cultivating a community-focused model of care, not only do we have access to a diverse range of knowledge and skills, but we also create a network of support for each woman under my care. By fostering connections and partnerships with other practitioners, we promote a sense of unity and collaboration, uplifting the overall quality of care provided.

Ultimately, my approach to midwifery honors the importance of knowledge, self-awareness, and community. By empowering women to understand and appreciate their bodies, and by harnessing the collective expertise of a diverse network of practitioners, I strive to provide exceptional care that meets each woman's unique needs, leading to healthier outcomes and empowered lives.

Exams & Screening

Privacy, a calm comfortable atmosphere, education, and a delicate touch should be the absolute standard when it comes to providing care for a woman's physical examination. As a highly dedicated and experienced midwife, I am committed to delivering this level of care to every woman I have the privilege of serving. Whether it's conducting well-woman exams, performing necessary STD screenings, or handling laboratory tests within my scope of practice, I ensure that the entire process is carried out with utmost respect and professionalism.

Furthermore, if the need arises for specialized care beyond my expertise, I am fully equipped to make appropriate referrals to other healthcare providers, ensuring that my clients receive the comprehensive care they deserve.
