Community Midwife • Legal Strategist • Mother of Ten • Founder, Pennsylvania Midwifery Relations Coalition

I’m an apprenticeship-trained homebirth midwife with over a decade of experience, a mother of ten, and a legal and policy advisor to traditional birth workers across the U.S. I founded the Pennsylvania Midwifery Relations Coalition (PMRC) to defend the constitutional rights of families and midwives amid increasing legislative overreach.

My work focuses on legal defense, strategic policy advocacy, and historical documentation of midwifery suppression. I assist midwives in contract design, liability protection, and regulatory navigation—especially in hostile legal climates. I also lead state and national projects that challenge unlawful restrictions on traditional, unlicensed, and faith-based maternity care.

Your support helps fund legal memos, historical research, advocacy campaigns, and public education efforts protecting the right to choose midwifery care in the privacy of home.

☕ If you believe in birth freedom, privacy rights, and the preservation of community midwifery, your contribution makes a real impact.
