Hey there!
I'm Kelly.
I'm a Certified Nurse-Midwife specializing in homebirth in RVA. As you read through my little corner of the internet, I hope it inspires you to consider a path outside of the traditional medical system.

My goal is to provide safe care for women looking to step outside the medical-industrial complex. I believe in personalized care that meets your unique needs.
Pregnancy is a normal physiological process.
You are NOT an accident waiting to happen.
You are NOT broken.
You are NOT sick.
You talk...
Safety in birth comes from care based on a relationship of mutual trust.
...I listen.
I want to hear your wants and needs so together we can create a partnership where your choices are respected, and your journey is honored. There's no "one size fits all" care here.
Your hesitations, your concerns, your reservations, your "I don't know what to ask"- are all normal.
Your care should be individualized.
Whether it's a homebirth, a hospital birth, prenatal/postpartum care only, or any mix in between: my role is to help you to feel confident, informed, and supported throughout this special time.
Pregnancy touches every aspect of your being—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Throughout our time together, I'll educate you on the birth process and how to prepare for it.
You know what's right for you and your baby. I will help you learn to trust your intuition.
We'll take a holistic look at your care and discuss preventive care like exercise, nutrition, supplements, homeopathics, and anything else that's important to you.
This is a time of profound change, growth, and anticipation, where you connect with yourself and your growing baby in ways you never imagined.
What's next? You've got questions.
If you're considering working with me, head over to my contact page where I have 3 videos that give some insight into what I offer.
If you like what you see, get in touch and we'll set up a free consultation!
I understand what I offer may NOT be what you want. But at least you know, and that's powerful. I hope to hear from you soon!
