About Me

I'm a mama and midwife living in Western North Carolina with my husband, son, four chickens, and too many wild birds to count. Oprah says intention rules the earth and I agree. This blog documents my intention to live a joyful life! I'm also a life coach! You can find me wearing that hat at www.midwifeforyourlife.com
