Hello! Welcome to my home page!

I am proud to be a midwife at Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento. We have a wonderful team of caring, thoughtful and skilled midwives and doctors.

As a child, I grew up on a farm near Los Angeles, where my parents raised goats. As one of six children I was the only one who was eager to witness the birth of the goats, regardless of the hour.

I graduated from Yale University School of Nursing in 1997, living in New York City for several years. After graduation I learned Spanish well, and had a baby.

I realized that I wanted to be a midwife when I witnessed the birth of my nephew. There was a midwife present during the birth and I visualized myself pursuing this career.

My family and I moved back to Sacramento in 2003. In 2005, after I gave birth to my second son, I started working at Kaiser South Sacramento and I have been working as a midwife ever since.

There is a wonderful family-style relationship in our team of midwives, doctors and nurses. I appreciate working with a staff of conscientiousness and kind people. The process of pregnancy to birth and postpartum can be unpredictable. Each mother and family has a unique way of dealing with childbirth and I know that listening to the mother and family is essential during this process.

I look forward to meeting you and your family and always remember it is a privilege to be a midwife. I wish the best, happiest and healthiest journey to all of our families.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
