To sit quietly in a birth room is to witness a women discover her vast inner strength
Everyone leaves changed
Meet Lena
Certified Direct Entry Midwife
Sometimes the only opportunity we get as women, to see just how powerful we really are, is in the birth room. This sacred space has been my home and continuing education for more than a decade as I've born witness to hundreds of women, roaring life into the world. The joy of doing this work with Stormy and celebrating women together is the cherry on top.
When I'm not waxing poetic about the beauty that is a woman in fullness of labor, I enjoy life with my partner and two kids, all of whom are amazing humans. You can usually find us in our tiny house, playing the bluegrass music, and planning our next adventure.
I'm also the person behind Motherled Birth, a childbirth education series, with the most amazing birth affirmation card sets, etsy.com/shop/motherledbirth
Meet Stormy
Certified professional midwife, Registered nurse
When I have the opportunity to remind women of their inner strength and innate power, not only am I moved by their recognition of what lies inside, I am reminded for myself as well. Midwifery, and advocating for women, is multi generational for me. I love being a part of the tradition of empowering women.
A midwife since 2014, I am also a registered nurse with a background in critical care. Working alongside Lena and supporting women during their pregnancy and birth brings me as much joy today as it did when I started my apprenticeship with her.
A lifelong Alaskan, I'd love to say I spend my time out exploring the state, but I'm a midwife - we all know I'm at home waiting for a call from a laboring mom. My two sons are understanding and will absolutely ask to hold your sweet baby and cuddle them.
