I learned through the traumatic hospital birth of my daughter 22 years ago that giving birth in the Western world today is not always what women expect and hope for. Two empowering home births later, I realized that there is another way, and that it is my calling to help women through their birthing to realize their potential, to get to know their own power and to fully embrace the joy of their motherhood

With a bachelor's degree in International Economics from UC Berkeley, I began the master's entry program in nursing at UC San Francisco in 2003. I was the first student, in the history of the program, to be admitted as a mother of three. My goal was to be highly academically and clinically trained, while maintaining the importance of emotional support, so as to work in home birth while legitimizing its safety and necessity in the medical world we are immersed in. I earned a master's degree in nursing, specializing in midwifery and women's health, and am a certified nurse midwife and nurse practitioner in women's health. The study of herb medicine and other complementary therapies rounded out my practice. After working for a number of years in home birth and home fertility services, I made aliyah with my family in 2009. Here in Israel, I worked at Laniado Hospital attending private births in the natural birth center along with home births, and returning to home birth full time in 2017.

Today I manage my home birth clinic in Nirit, in Central Israel, where I provid

•          prenatal care, clinical and emotional
•          birth trauma processing
•         childbirth preparation and birth consultation
•         postpartum care and closing ceremony (closing of the bones)

Here I have the pleasure of patiently and lovingly getting to know and support the wonderful families I serve. I look forward to speaking with you and discussing the best options for you and the birth experience you deserve.
