I am an apprentice-trained midwife in private practice since 1982, and have personally attended over 1950 births. I was initially certified (CM) by the Michigan Midwives Association in 1983. In 1997, I became a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), credentialed through the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). On August 1, 2019, I became a Licensed Midwife in the State of Michigan! I am a board member of the Michigan Midwives Association and am a member of the Midwives Alliance of North America and the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives. I am on the Board of Licensed Midwifery for Michigan. I am married and have 2 grown children, 3 home-born grandchildren, and 2 step-grandchildren. We have a year old Great Granddaughter, too! My husband and I have a 415 acre farm and raise timber, organic meats and vegetables, as well as a majority of our own food.
