I moved to NYC to deepen my knowledge of midwifery in the U.S. I became certified and licensed to practice in NYS and this is how Luna Homebirth was born. I've supported and helped hundreds of families during their journey of bringing a baby into the world and the experience has been nothing short of rewarding. My own personal experience of giving birth to my own children at home (twice in 2 years) gave me the insight and wisdom that has since impacted the quality of care that I provide to every single one of my clients.

On a personal note, when I’m not thinking about childbirth, I enjoy being a wife to my wonderful and supportive husband, Brad and homeschooling my two girls, Sofia and Sierra. And if you can’t find me in the city catching babies, I’m probably upstate working in my garden with my canine helper, Chico.

Cori trained to become a birth assistant at the Farm (TN) and has been assisting at Luna Homebirth since 2015. Additionally, she has helped and supported home birth midwives all throughout New York City. Cori makes her appearance when the birth is imminent so when you see her at your birth, you will know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
