I am drawn to the way Magnolia encourages families to be present and in control of how they approach pregnancy and birth. In addition, Magnolia has created a space that offers a private, comfortable, and welcoming vibe.

I moved to Tampa, where I attended the University of South Florida and earned my bachelor’s degree in health science. When I went to college, I thought I would be an OB/GYN. However, after shadowing a few providers and working in the hospital, I realized I preferred a more holistic version of maternal healthcare.

As I listened to women, I saw the need for self-care and community care. I feel blessed to not have a traumatic birth story, and I want to pass that along.
