Here is a listing of Certified Professional Midwives available in Utah.
A CPM is a direct-entry midwifery practitioner who has met all the certification standards set by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). What distinguishes a CPM from other nationally certified midwives is that CPMs primarily attend to out-of-hospital births and are trained via a competency-based model of education. NARM recognizes competency-based education as the optimal model for educating maternity care providers practicing in out-of-hospital settings because it is the only model that requires clinical experience in out-of-hospital settings, continuity of care, and risk assessment skills, which are required to determine when referral, collaboration or consultation with a physician is necessary.

84651I am a Licensed Direct Entry Midwife (LDEM) as well as a CPM. I have been delivering babies at home in Utah for the past 27 years. I am the mother of ten children, three of which were birthed at home.
I became involved in midwifery in 1982. I took classes from the Utah School of Midwifery (now Midwives College of Utah) and graduated from the school in 1987 as a Certified Midwife. I apprenticed with a senior midwife for approximately two years before assuming any clients of my own. In 1994, I took the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) exam and in 1996, I became certified with NARM as a Certified Professional Midwife. Most recently (2006) I became licensed with the state of Utah as a Licensed Direct Entry Midwife.

After experiencing my first home birth with my third child, I felt the spiritual calling to become a midwife. Prior to that, my ambition had always been to be a nurse.
I later learned that I had come from a long blood line of prominent midwives and that my life’s journey had guided me here. After years of home study and two years of college nursing classes, I began my apprenticeship in November of 1985.
Since that time, I have attended 1,065 successful births, including 12 sets of twins and 11 breech deliveries.
I cannot think of any textbook complication that I have not dealt with. I love people, expecially babies. I love doing what is right, being involved in a great cause. I love the fulfillment of seeing parents bond with their babies and the joy they feel in their home births.
I love the “love” and lasting friendships. I love the relationship I have developed with my Father in Heaven. I love how midwifery has allowed me to work from home, to pack along nursing babies and to often work while the kids sleep, enabling me to be a good mother at the same time.
I have grown in my understanding of God and truth. I have learned much from the many people with whom I have been privileged to associate.
Midwifery has made me stronger in every way. I have learned that I CAN love anyone through service.
I have been blessed beyond measure.
I look forward to many more years and many more babies!
