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. Their last child I was privileged to catch at home and we seam to share a special bond.My hobbies are Bible study home group, sewing, mosaic tile work, gardening, Raw and other healthy foods, camping and mission trips.Oh and we are building a retreat/teaching center here as we live on a cool river with a waterfall in the back yard and have lots to impart.
