Daughter of Bethel Belisle, I am no stranger to midwifery. After helping to "hold the flashlight" at my first birth when I was 7, it became my desire to become a midwife and work alongside my mother someday. That day came in 2015 when I returned home from college and was told that I was on call as a birth assistant. From there, I moved quickly from assistant, to apprentice, to midwife. ⠀
⠀
I am a new member of the Alaska Air National Guard and am enrolled at the University of Alaska, Anchorage pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My goal is to get my Master's and use it to work with women battling mental health disorders in their childbearing years. ⠀
⠀
We offer prenatal care that is tailored to each women's individual needs. Every birth is unique and everyone who embarks on their journey through pregnancy and childbirth deserves having a team that will support them. It's important to us that this rite of passage is treated as one of the most sacred experiences that you will hold forever. ⠀
