She has actively supported MFSB since 2012 and strongly believes in promoting education about childbirth options and informed choice.  Her vision is to improve access to midwifery care for families of all backgrounds and to bridge the gaps between out-of-hospital maternity care and the medical system.  The individualized, unhurried and relationship-focused care she received from midwives was transformative.  She is a mother and a clinical psychologist in private practice.
