Hello! My name is Chloe.
I am a wife and mother of 4 boys living in Ohio. My husband and I own a branding design/strategy business called Desert Lily Design Co. I enjoy traveling, reading a good novel, homesteading, and of course, serving families on their pregnancy journey!
My path to midwifery started when I was pregnant with my first child. In order to prepare for birth, I did a lot of research and discovered the deep brokenness of our modern maternity care system. I desired autonomy and the chance to birth in a physiologic, spiritual way. As time went on, and I had more children, the passion I had for childbirth only continued to grow. In October 2022, I served as a support person for a good friend during her home birth and I finally realized that midwifery was a passion I needed to follow.
Philosophy of Care
Empowered Birth.
I believe in the wisdom of the body. I believe that pregnancy and birth is a deeply natural and spiritual journey and consider it an honor to be welcomed into this intimate space. I believe that the primary role of a midwife is to accompany, educate, and protect the sacred time of child-bearing. When this is done well, a beautiful, trusting partnership arises between family and midwife.
Midwifery accompaniment and shared-decision making looks like:
Focusing on nutrition, hydration, and exercise to promote health and minimize complications
Evidence-informed practice at all times to provide the best care
Active listening to find individualized solutions for each family
Honoring the sacredness and intimacy of the birth space with as few interruptions as necessary to ensure the safety of mother and child
At all times, tending to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of families - birth is not just a physical event, but a life-changing reality.
