I’ve
known I wanted to be a Midwife since 1975 when I was pregnant with
my first baby at age 15. I moved to The Farm in Tennessee after the
baby was born to start training. Little did I know it wouldn’t
be that easy. I did get to take pictures for Spiritual Midwifery and
other books, but didn’t get to start training until I lived
in California at age 17. I was then living with a previous Farm Midwife
and went to my first birth to assist while I was in early labor myself
with a breech! Later the next day, I ended up with a C-section for
failure to progress. I then moved to Texas and trained with many different
Midwives and had my third boy there at age 21 (VBAC almost in the
hospital parking lot). Soon after, I became a Christian and have been
serving God ever since.
After taking the EMT class and the Association of Texas Midwives course,
I started practicing in Texas. Eventually, I relocated to South Carolina
as midwifery is legal here and there was only one other midwife in
the state. I have been licensed here and training midwifery students
since 1985 and have created this course with their help.
I am married to Chris, Mother to 3 boys and 1 girl (born on my birthday
weighing 10lbs 14oz, my first homebirth). My oldest son has twins
with his wife so I am adjusting to the word Grandma but loving the
role. My hobbies are Bible study home group, sewing, mosaic tile work,
gardening, sailing, camping and mission trips.
