I am a birth junkie!   

I am a Registered Nurse with over 39 years of maternal child nursing experience under my belt.  I consider myself a progressive RN Director of Birthing Suites on Baby Friendly Journey in an Optimal Healing Environment, Governor's Sterling Award winning Community Hospital!  I believe in a mother's ability to birth her baby.  I work with a progressive team who embrace women during childbirth and were the first ones in SW Florida to put babies skin to skin with their mothers immediately following cesarean births.  We even are known for having a triplet mother have a Gentle Cesarean <first one in the United States!>.

I am an AWHONN member, Chapter Leader, AIM State Nursing co-Leader, active with the Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative.  I am a Dancing for Birth instructor, a doula, and not to mention a wife, mother and grandmother!
