“Midwife” is a word that comes from the old English words mit wif, literally “with woman.” A midwife in our culture today is a person who is “with woman,” especially during the period of pregnancy, birth, and caring for the newborn. Midwives vary greatly in their philosophies according to setting, training, and personality! Our time together in pregnancy will prepare a trusting bond and expose you to my philosophy and style. My core goal is to support and honor your space and expectations surrounding pregnancy and birth while maintaining safety.
I am certified in infant and adult CPR through the Red Cross and in neonatal resuscitation through the American Heart Association.
As of January 2009 I was able to serve as a primary midwife under the supervision of my preceptor, Linda Weaver. This means that I attend my clients appointments, oversee physical assessments and referrals, and also have the benefit of experienced eyes watching our journey together, should anything deviate from the norm. Initial contact for a consultation or appointment can be made with either Linda or me.
