At the heart of Neshama is a constant dedication to supporting, strengthening and empowering mothers and couples in birth. I entered birthwork early 2023 as a loved one of mine entered her motherhood journey. She entered strong, encouraged, prepared, and yet looking for support, a listening ear, advocacy, and someone to lean on in that process. She knew what I think every mom knows; that every couple deserves support, every couple deserves an advocate, and every couple deserves evidence based education surrounding their options and each decision that they may anticipate to make for their birth and little one in labor and delivery. In supporting her that day a new world opened before me to the beauty of labor and delivery, the strength of each mother I support, and the depth of positive impact that support, preparation and an advocating voice can have in a delivery room. This quickly grew a passion in my heart that led to the birth of Neshama Birth Services, rooted and grounded in these emphases. I am passionate about evidence-based education leading up to birth that will empower parents to make fully informed decisions as they determine best routes for their family. I am passionate about supporting first-time parents (among others) as they embark on a new journey, and I am passionate that birth should be a beautifully empowering experience in which mom is supported through and through, never alone, and discovering the depth of strength she’s carried all along.
