Renee created SVMC in February of 2010, building an intimate practice with a balance of intuition, experience, and knowledge. Renee's goals include educating student midwives so that midwifery care is accessible to everyone and increasing awareness of evidence based holistic alternatives to western medicine that prevent illness and improve maternal and infant health.

Renee practices as a holistic midwife and uses her 9 years of medical education and years of experience to understand the physiology and science behind the holistic alternatives to Western medicine that she uses in her practice. Renee offers women a unique balance between two disciplines and is proud that in the rare instance that a mother transports to the hospital she easily navigates that transition in support of her clients.

Together, with other amazing birth workers, she is supporting the movement back to the basics of honoring women's bodies and their choices.
