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!
