Mystic Momma Philosophy
As both a parent and an experienced pediatric nurse, I understand how important it is to be supported in making the best decisions regarding you and your baby’s care. Each birth journey is unique and beautiful and I have a strong desire to support all birthing women in theirs. You deserve to walk away from your birth feeling confident that you made informed decisions for you and your family.
