I have been providing Traditional Midwife care and home birth for more than 16 years in the southern California area. My services include prenatal check ups, labwork, ultrasounds, nutritional counseling, home birth, water birth, post partum care, VBAC, newborn exams, lactation education, well-woman gyn care and paps.
I have two assistants, one is a CPM and trained Emergency Medical Responder and the other an experienced doula, herbalist who speaks Russian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Being a Midwife is my "calling." I enjoy working with mothers, babies and families. I had my two children at home and I believe that homebirth is the safest and best way to bring children into the world.
Though I come to your home when you are in labor and I do at least one home visit prior to birth, I can also arrange for home visits for prenatal care. Most PPO insurance programs will reimburse for midwife care.
My office is located in Temecula, CA where I see clients from the Inland Empire and north San Diego County areas. I offer home visits for those people outside those regions, such as Orange, LA and San Bernardino Counties. Here are some of the cities I serve:

Hi! I was wondering if you only do VBAC's after only one c-section? Thanks!

In reply to the request for more info on my background, let me say that I began my apprenticeship in 1986. I trained with several traditional or lay midwives, worked at a birthing center and became a primary midwife in 1991.
I also worked as an editor and writer for several childbirth and parenting magazines.
I became a Licensed Midwife in 1997 after completing the SMS Challenge Process for California midwifery licensure.

I just discovered that my husband and I are pregnant. I would very much like top work with a midwife but am a little nervous to do so entirely. I understand that some midwives work with physicians. I am very interested in finding a pair such as this in my area. I live near Temecula California. I have Aetna health care and am covered for a midwife but would like one that works with a physician. I look forward to hear from you with any comments or advice you may have for me as I'm only two w
