Kerry Dixon, MSN, CNM, CPM, LM


I finished my MSN with a speciality in Nurse-Midwifery from Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing in January of 2007. I continue to hold my CPM and LM credential out of solidarity to my sister midwives from diverse educational paths.

I am excited to be a CNM with the HealthEast midwives and to be attending births at Woodwinds Hospital in Woodbury and St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul.  While I still miss attending homebirths, I look forward to bringing the gentle philosophy of traditional midwifery into a new practice (new for me!), especially for women who do not have the option for an out-of-hospital birth based on their health, life-style or for economic reasons.

I am not going to try to pretend that we can create a true homebirth in a hospital, but I believe that the loving support, and wisdom to trust birth can be used in every labor and birth setting. I thank all my former teachers, mentors and the families who have taught me so well by sharing their wisdom and their experiences with me. 

For those of you who are looking for an open-minded women's health care provider who respects your choices--consider seeing me for your well-woman and primary care needs.
