Hello there and welcome! I’m April and Birth Work is my passion.

Respectful Care
I provide respectful, caring, non-judgmental postpartum support.
Black Lives Matter. Period.
Sadly, America is a systemically racist country and has overwhelmingly proven itself to be an unsafe place for Black people - most especially for Black trans femme people and Black birthing people. The racial and ethnic disparities in maternal death statistics in this country are terrifying and unacceptable. These disparities must be addressed and corrected.
Please consider donating to the National Black Midwives Alliance!
I support reparations on personal, local, state and federal levels.
I also support defunding the police.
As a queer person myself, I advocate for safe birthing spaces and access to resources for birthing people who identify with ANY and ALL gender identities.
There is no place for hate here.
I support decolonization, acknowledgement of stolen lands, and the Landback movement as a first step towards liberation for all.
ORIGINAL PEOPLES LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I live and work in Portland, Oregon, which I respectfully acknowledge exists on Multnomah, Chinook, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tualatin Kalapuya, Cowlitz, Tumwater, and other tribal lands along the Columbia River.
