Born and raised in Oregon, I left at age 18 in search of the world. At age 30, I return, convinced that there really is "no place like home." With a husband and daughter in tow, I am rediscovering what it means to live in this beautiful state. We currently live in Bend, Oregon where we enjoy the beautiful high-desert of the Northwest. I am passionate about educating women on pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. I am an advocate of midwives and doulas, and strongly believe in a woman's choice to birth her baby at home. I hope this blog can serve to educate and inform!
