Who am I: I am a Canadian midwife and an Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.
I believe in women centered care, informed choice, choice of birth place, continuity of care and being a protector of normal pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
As a midwife in Canada I was responsible for the clinical care of hundreds of women’s pregnancies, births (in home or hospital) and the health of mother and baby until 6 weeks postpartum. I understand the physiological stages and clinical aspect of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.   I dissolve myths with facts and provide my clients with the knowledge and resources to understand medical situations as they arise.
In Israel I work as a Birth Doula, childbirth and breastfeeding educator and IBCLC lactation consultant.
I am a proud mother of two lovely children born at home with midwives.

My philosophy: Within my care I strive to bring the ‘village support’ of the past to the women of today. As a midwife in Canada, I saw the beauty in women having a trusted care provider throughout their pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I understood that women had enough transitions in their lives during this time. Having the care of a trusted professional during pregnancy birth and postpartum, gives women a supported environment to grow, learn, birth, heal, bond with baby and adjust confidently to motherhood.

How I Work: I love to help women recognize their strengths! To help them unlock their inner confidence of knowing how to birth and mother their newborn. My care is catered specifically to each client. During the pregnancy we spend time getting to know each other and building trust. We carry this trust and knowledge to the birth room where we work together to achieve your birth goals. We use creative solutions to challenges that arise in labor or birth. We continue this collaboration and problem solving into the postpartum, where I visit you regularly in hospital and or home to help you reach your postpartum goals.
