  • What’s the difference between an OB/GYN and a Midwife?

I absolutely love helping women understand their fertility from the inside out. After all, when women are empowered with understanding they make the choices that best suit their family and goals.

You may have been told by your gynecologist to wait months before infertility evaluation and treatment begins. You may be perplexed about such recommendations and wonder what you might be able to do to help yourself right now. I am so glad you found this website - as your ponderings are on point!

My goal is to help as many women as possible increase their ability to experience optimal fertility, optimal pregnancies and to deliver healthy, happy babies.  And most importantly for mother and child – it is with a sense urgency and duty that I seek to help my patients avoid unnecessary medical interventions which threaten to increase our nation’s already staggering rate of infant and child mortality.  

 

By helping women understand their rights and options in healthcare, and by guiding women to towards the best possible health before and during pregnancy, medical interventions will generally be less likely needed.  By the same common sense, when medical interventions like labor induction or cesarean section are indeed needed, a healthier woman will be less likely to experience complications during such procedure.   This is the best of both worlds in my view, and a win-win for all medical providers and patients alike.
