I love being the owner of The Addice and working alongside such amazing providers that share a vision for education and autonomy! The community here is so precious!

My path to becoming the owner of The Addice...

Although I'm not a midwife, I came to adore the midwifery model of care when I was pregnant with our 7th baby and chose to use a midwife as well as out of hospital birth. I had very little family support, but after taking my husband to meet our midwife, he was all in! The care I received and the knowledge that I gained was so amazing. Through six previous pregnancies, I had never been educated on pregnancy, nutrition, or alternative holistic approaches. I feel like every mama deserves to have access to these practices alongside traditional medicine when needed and have autonomy over her decisions!

My philosophy about birth is that birth is normal! We don't usually need medications to push birth or eliminate our bodies natural response to birth with pain medications. While there is pain involved in the process, our bodies are SO amazing and work with our babies to align hormones to complement each other in the process. My baby and I are a team that work together to accomplish the goal of getting to meet each other face to face! It's truly so incredible and beautiful. Birth is magical!

Beach or Mountains? Mountains! Tennessee has my heart!

My Starbucks order: I enjoy my coffee at home mostly made with organic coffee and raw cream from our backyard dairy cows, but if I get Starbucks out, I usually get a Blonde roast with a little cream.
