Question 1
Tell us a little bit about you.
Where are you from?
Before I got into midwifery, my mother became involved in personal development. Through that work, the two of us were able to heal our broken relationship. I would often call her for advice about the goings-on in my own life. Then, when I stepped into midwifery, I began coming to her with questions about the clients I was serving. After thirty years as a midwife in Utah and working with hundreds of clients, I felt an urge to refine my practice and adopt a more holistic approach. I continued to pick my mother’s brain, but when she passed away in 2019, I found myself unsure of my next steps. While I could no longer reach out to her for guidance, God showed up for me in the most magnificent way. After receiving a message from a friend trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I traded my midwifery services for her skills, allowing me to continue enhancing and revolutionizing my work in midwifery. Because it’s not just about painting the picture for a mom—it’s about truly stepping into her language.

Question 2
Why do you do what you do?
What motivates you? Where did your passion come from?
I love seeing lightbulbs go on! I love seeing mothers relax because they feel heard and seen. I love it when a birth worker realizes they have the tools to communicate with their clients effectively. Helping people connect the dots and see the big picture excites me, and that's all in the training. We are trying to connect what the mother wants to her purpose. There's a quote that I always reference, popularized by Viktor Frankl: "He who has a 'why' for which to live can bear almost any 'how.'"
If women can see birth not just as an experience but as a lesson, that changes their mental framework going into it. I'm excited to see people grow from where they are to where they desire to be.

Question 3
What did you build in Soul Seed Academy?
We focused on narrowing down and refining my mission. I was centering mothers, but we soon realized I needed to turn my attention to the birth workers so that they could empower the expecting women. I also developed my website through Soul Seed Academy's curriculum, so I can successfully market Mentor Birth to the world.

Question 4
Tell us about your business.
How does it work?
Mentoring birth workers to become guardians of birth through teaching simple, easy to use skills and linguistic techniques to enhance connection through transformation. I'm an experienced mentor teaching birth keepers their role in guiding women into the transformative space of motherhood.

Question 5
What has been the hardest part of your journey so far?
Finding the words to convince birth workers that enhancing their linguistics is worth their time. Women don't know what they need until they're working with someone who can help them map it out. We have to be able to emphasize the fact that spending time and money on yourself is worth it when your baby's life is on the line.

Question 6
What does healing the world look like to you?
Walking with a person and showing them the way out of the through transformational work.
I’ve had several birth clients who have their own therapists and psychologists, yet they still come back to see me — or have their healthcare provider recommend that they do. Why? Because instead of taking months or years to accomplish their goals, I train our birth workers to achieve them in just a few days or even hours. Mentor Birth is stepping into the language and putting time back on a mother’s clock.

Question 7
Any last-minute thoughts?
In the process of learning how to mentor women and guide them into motherhood, the birth keepers learn how to guide themselves into their space as a guardian. It's not just about walking beside the mother. We have the responsibility to call out red flags and lay down new framework when a mother is veering off their desired trajectory. They have to trust us enough to be guided when it's most important. Trust is everything. If we heal the midwife, we heal the mother, and we heal the world. That's what leads to whole-hearted experiences in life.
