Resources I Trust
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside and connect with many wonderful professionals who support growing families. I’ve gathered some of my favorite books, trusted providers, and local resources here to help you find additional support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Places to Birth
Hospitals
I have extensive experience supporting families in hospital settings throughout King County and am comfortable navigating the routines, options, and decisions that can come with hospital birth. While every family’s needs and preferences are different, some of the hospitals I’ve especially enjoyed supporting families at include EvergreenHealth, Swedish Issaquah, and UW Medical Center–Northwest. Wherever you choose to give birth, my role is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident in your choices.
