Home birth and Midwifery Care in the DMV. I’m always humbled by the way families feel about the care my team and I give. I was blessed to work at a birth center for almost two years before choosing a slower pace. I chose to have a private practice to find a balance for time with my family and being aligned with the clients that are the perfect fit for my experience, personality, faith, and energy, among other things. I am truly blessed to walk this journey. I do not take this calling lightly. I look forward to more uneventful births and joyful experiences. Check out dasthebalm.com to see if I am the right fit for you. Space is limited as I continuously work on my boundaries and take only a few clients 10 months out of the year.
