Additional Information

I am a doctorally prepared certified nurse-midwife with 30+ years of practice in both hospital and birth center settings, and teaching midwives. My passion and area of expertise is the birth center model of care. I served as president of the American Association of Birth Centers and was lead editor of the only textbook in the U.S. devoted to the freestanding birth center model. I am a published author in professional nursing journals and am a fellow of the American College of Nurse Midwives.
