From an early age, I was drawn to the world of maternal health, inspired by the transformative power of childbirth. My journey began in nursing, where I spent seven years as a labor and delivery nurse in New York hospitals and volunteering in a birth center in Haiti. In time, I realized that my passion is midwifery.
As a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), my mission is to provide holistic, patient-centered, and compassionate care that uplifts and supports every birthing individual during their unique journey. I blend my deep clinical expertise with a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach.
Midwifery, to me, is more than a profession; it is a philosophy of care that honors the physiological process of birth while ensuring safety and respect for each individual’s unique journey. With each delivery, I strive to create a supportive space where my patients feel heard, informed, and empowered in their healthcare decisions. I am proud to join the FemmPro MIDWIFE Team and look forward to co-creating personalized birth plans with our pregnant patients, managing pre-and post-partum needs as well as the full suite of gynecological needs from contraception to menopause.
