Hi, I’m Hanna.

I am here to serve you because in 2018, I attended my first birth after being inspired by the book, Spiritual Midwifery.

Shortly after, I went on to graduate with a Bachelors in Gender and Women's Studies and took every opportunity possible to write about birth. I learned so much about the history of midwifery and how it relates to the current discrepancies in care that Black birthing folks receive.

I moved to Minnesota to be closer to my family and start my midwifery journey. I enjoy spending time with my eight year-old cat, Blair, my niece and nephews, and my loving partner. I love live music, hiking, spending time with friends, and gardening.

I am committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that recognizes and respects the diverse experiences of the families I serve. I recognize that this growth requires ongoing self-reflection and a willingness to examine the ways systemic racism and white supremacy have influenced healthcare and my own perspectives. It would be my absolute pleasure to serve you, no matter where you land on the human spectrum.

Philosophy

I ground my midwifery practice in evidence-informed care while honoring the transformative, physiological, and sacred nature of birth. I believe birth is a powerful and deeply personal experience, deserving of both respect and autonomy. My role is to walk alongside the client, offering informed guidance, calm presence, and unwavering support through every phase of the journey.

I prioritize preserving the birth space as a place of safety, strength, and stillness. I aim to create an environment that allows the birthing person to fully inhabit their process...physically, emotionally, and spiritually...by being fully present, minimizing unnecessary interference, and offering grounded, steady energy.

Flexibility is a core value in my approach. I understand that birth is inherently unpredictable, and I meet each moment with adaptability and an open mind. I hold space for individual needs, knowing that no two births are alike, and I respond with care that is as dynamic as the experience itself.

Safety is not only about monitoring vitals and outcomes, though these are essential, but also about building trust, offering informed choice, and reducing trauma through compassionate and trauma informed care. I practice in ways that protect both the physical and emotional well-being of the birthing person and their family.

I believe in expanding what is considered possible in birth through trust, collaboration, and courage.

In all I do, I honor the strength and wisdom of birthing people, and I strive to be a steady hand and open heart in one of life’s most powerful transitions.
