We offer values-based, midwifery-informed mediation for birth professionals navigating interpersonal challenges, practice dynamics, and policy-level collaboration. Whether you’re addressing tension between colleagues, navigating team or partnership concerns, or seeking resolution with clients, we provide a neutral, heart-centered space for dialogue, clarity, and repair.
Our services are rooted in restorative principles and designed to uphold accountability without blame—supporting healthier relationships, clearer communication, and greater alignment across the midwifery community. We also offer guidance around documentation language and peer review processes, helping reduce risk while maintaining trust and integrity.
In broader contexts, we facilitate coalition and legislative discussions to ensure diverse midwifery voices are heard, respected, and centered in policy efforts. Through restorative circles and collaborative conversation, we help reconnect individuals and communities after rupture—supporting a stronger, more unified path forward.

Important Notes
- No legal advice is provided. Parties are encouraged to seek independent legal counsel for final contracts, formal agreements, or litigation if necessary.
- This is not legal review or regulatory compliance consultation. Feedback is based on midwifery experience, mediation skills, and familiarity with common documentation challenges. For legal or licensure-specific requirements, consult with an attorney or professional board.
- Mediation is voluntary and non-binding unless both parties decide to take further steps outside of this process, which I’m happy to guide you through acquiring.
- All sessions are confidential, neutral, and guided by midwifery-informed values.
