Many
women feel there is no safer or more loving place to give birth than in
their own home with the assistance of a midwife. The home setting is
familiar and natural -- a place where the new baby and family are
together from the start. Our goal is a healthy baby and a mom with as
little intervention as necessary.
I
am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and hold a midwifery license
in Tennessee. Unfortunately, at this time, neither are recognized in
this state. Through the years I have become more active in both state
and national midwifery politics. I am president of the GA Midwifery Association, legislative chair for the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA), and serve on the board of the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).
It
has been my honor to assist Atlanta families at their births for over
25 years. My students and I feel strongly that prenatal care, birth
and postpartum care are a family event if that is what the
family chooses. Children are always welcomed and are encouraged to
participate. Over 75% of our mothers choose water for their labors
and/or birth.
Our practice is open to low-risk mothers and
serves a limited area so we can provide more focused care. If you live
within an hour's drive from Lilburn we would love to hear from you.
