Hello!  I have been married to my high school sweetheart since 1981 and we have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. I came to midwifery after receiving midwifery care for our last 2 children, training by way of an apprenticeship.  I would like to say I chose midwifery but it actually feels more like a calling. 

I became certified through the Michigan Midwives Association and then also through the North American Registry of Midwives. In 2019, when it became available, I received my midwifery license. This year (2024) I’ve been a midwife for 30 years!  The babies are starting to have babies, too!  How surreal!  

We attend a little country (non-denominational) church and I serve on the board as the Christian Education Elder. I also run the projection (for the songs) and when I’m at a birth my husband fills in for me. His support, through the years, is essential and endearing. 

 I feel so very blessed to be a midwife and I love serving my community families.  I hope God allows me many more years doing so!
