Mission Statement & Ethics

Woven Mission..

I am growing into the sacred rite of homebirth midwifery—

rooted in ancient wisdom, intuitive knowing, and cultural remembering.

I serve as a bridge between womb and world, between body and spirit,

between the breath of birth and the stillness of postpartum.

My mission is simple:

To walk with women.

To tend their bodies, their transitions, their stories.

To mother the mother

Sacred Ethics..

I walk in deep respect for the traditions and teachings of Indigenous women around the world.

These ways are not mine to own, but to honor in humility.

I walk beside, not ahead.

This path is one of unlearning, listening, and becoming—again and again.

I am committed to walking in integrity, listening more than I speak, and honoring the lineages that inform this work without appropriation.

This is a living practice of reverence, responsibility, and relationship.

To serve the sacred, I must remain humble.

To mother others, I must continue to mother myself.

A Note on Care, Accessibility, and Integrity

My work exists outside of insurance-based and MassHealth-covered doula models.

This is a conscious choice — not because accessibility doesn’t matter to me, but because the kind of care I offer cannot be held within standardized billing structures or volume-based expectations.

I work with a very small number of families each season so that care can remain slow, relational, and deeply present. My prenatals are unhurried. My on-call presence is wholehearted. My support extends beyond logistics into emotional holding, nervous-system regulation, education, ceremony, and integration. This level of devotion requires spaciousness, clear boundaries, and sustainability.

Insurance-based models are designed to increase access and coverage — which is important work — but they often require higher client volume, fixed scopes of care, and documentation systems that pull attention away from relationship. That is not the lane I practice in.

I do not offer transactional support.

I offer relational care.

When we work together, you are not one of many. You are held intentionally within my capacity, my calendar, and my nervous system. I say no to other work so that I can say a full yes to you.

Because of this, my fees reflect:

• limited availability

• extended prenatal visits (often 90–120 minutes)

• on-call presence across a wide window

• depth of emotional, physical, and educational support

• years of lived experience, clinical training, and lineage-based study

• the unseen labor of preparation, integration, and energetic holding

I recognize that this model is not accessible to everyone — and I hold that truth with humility and care. At the same time, I trust that the families who are meant to walk with me will recognize the value of this work and feel aligned in meeting it with reciprocity.

If you are seeking the lowest-cost option, the most flexible arrangement, or insurance-covered doula care, I may not be the right fit — and I offer that clarity with respect.

If you are seeking presence, intimacy, reverence, and a guide who walks fully alongside you — not just through birth, but through the threshold it represents — then we may be well aligned.

This work is not about volume.

It is about devotion.

And it is meant to be received by those who already know its value.

Access, Lineage & Community Care

This work is rooted in traditions that did not begin in medical systems, insurance structures, or transactional models of care. Midwifery and birth work have always lived in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities — held through relationship, reciprocity, and shared responsibility.

It is important to me that Black and Brown women feel welcome reaching out, seen in this space, and supported in receiving deep, relational care.

I do not currently accept insurance. This is an intentional choice. Insurance-based models often limit time, depth of relationship, and the way care is exchanged. I choose to work outside of those systems so that the care we build together can remain personal, flexible, and rooted in trust rather than entitlement or convenience.

My practice does have a set fee, which reflects the depth of care, on-call availability, and energetic devotion this work requires. At the same time, I hold access as a lived value — not a marketing phrase.

How Access Is Held

Each year, I intentionally reserve a very limited number of spaces for reduced-fee birth support. These are offered by discernment, not by formula. I am especially committed to supporting Black and Brown families who feel aligned with this work and are navigating real financial need.

I am not currently offering an open sliding scale for birth work. What I do offer — and welcome — are payment plans, which many families find supportive and grounding. In certain circumstances, reduced-fee care may be possible when there is genuine need, clear communication, and mutual respect.

In addition to individual care, a portion of my work is dedicated to community-based offerings, including group spaces, circles, and scholarship-supported work. These spaces allow care to remain accessible without placing the full weight of access on a single body. This is one of the ways reciprocity is restored and sustained.

A Note on Fit

I am most aligned with families who feel called to this work, value relationship, and understand that care is something we co-create. I may not be the right fit for those seeking the lowest-cost option, insurance-based services, or highly transactional care — and I offer that with honesty and respect.

If you are feeling drawn to this work and unsure about access, I welcome a conversation. You are not expected to have perfect words or certainty — only sincerity.
