Following graduation from Sweet Briar College in 1990 I married my best friend and by 1995 had birthed 3 babies with an OB/GYN in a hospital setting. These 3 experiences fueled my passion for researching evidence based birth. I experienced firsthand the amazing care and support that midwifery model of care in an out of hospital setting could offer during my fourth pregnancy in 1998. In between my fourth and fifth pregnancy I became a Certified Doula. After practicing as a doula for 12 years, I followed my dream to become a home birth midwife in 2010. I passed the Certified Professional Midwife exam in 2012. I maintain CPR and NPR certification as well as Birth Emergency Skills Training. The joy of being with women in their own homes and encouraging them to receive the gift of new life never gets old. I provide preconceptual counseling, well-woman care, prenatal care, homebirth and water births along with postpartum care for 6 weeks in the great Kansas City metropolitan area. Cheryl L.
