About Treasured Birth
I grew up in Prior Lake, Minnesota, and graduated in 1983. In 2009, I earned an Associate of Liberal Arts Degree from Normandale Community College, in Bloomington, Minnesota. I then transferred to the University of Minnesota to study a Bachelors of Science in Family Social Science, with minors in Maternal Child Health, Public Health, and Sociology. During my time there, I was honored to receive an award for Volunteerism in the Community Engagement Scholars program; working in and receiving specialized training as a battered woman’s telephone crisis line advocate, a volunteer Doula and Childbirth Educator for at-risk expecting mothers. It is my hope to continue volunteering and supporting families in their pursuit of equal healthcare provision. Additionally, Six years ago I completed my education as a Massage Therapist with a specialty in Prenatal and Postpartum Massage.

As Anne Frye says:
“Midwifery is grounded in the perspective that most women, given physical and psychological support by a trained midwife and accompanied by loved ones, will give birth safely with few, if any, interventions. Midwives screen their patients carefully, watch for complications, and rely on obstetricians in cases requiring intervention. But they spend much of their time educating patients and tend to see their role as collaborative rather than authoritative. Midwives are guardians of the normal.”
