Hello! I am a CPM. I work in the Bloomington area. We do births in a 2-3 hour radius of the Bloomington/Indianapolis area. I work with a broad and diverse group of clients, including Old Order Amish, IU students and professors, and people of many different ethnicities and cultures. I support and practice the Midwifery Model of Care, and use Informed Consent with my clients. My motto is that I care for you, as you learn to care for yourself. Clients make all the decisions about their care, and their births, with my guidance. I believe that childbirth can be the most important event in a woman's life, and am honored to help families welcome their little ones. I believe that birth is a natural normal process.
I have practiced in a variety of settings. I support water labor and water birth and rent out an aqua-doula tub. I ove to work with VBAC clients. I am trained in Neonatal Resuscitation and carry resuscitation equipment.
We work to provide you with competent care, while following your lead, wishes and desires.

your web site was very helpful, my husband and I are currently trying to get pregnant with our first child and are thinking about using a midwife instead of going to the hospital. my neighboor has suggested using a midwife because she used a midwife for all three of her children (the newest arriving in Jan.) the info. on your website will help use to decide or atleast help my husband become more reassured about using a midwife.

Thank you for providing such an informative site! I'm the mother of two children born in the hospital, where there was repeated unnecessary intervention into their births. Now, planning the conception of my third and final child I'm hungry for information on home birth. I feel in my heart my hospital births were more harmful than helpful to my babies and me.
Keep up the good work!
