I wish we lived in a world that was entirely risk-free. But unfortunately we don’t. Every single choice we make comes with a certain subset of risks. This is why Informed decision making is so vitally important! I firmly believe that parents should not be coerced or fear-mongered into making a certain choice. You deserve the chance to research and make your own informed choices.

About Melinda

I am a Direct-Entry Midwife. I have also worked as a DONA Birth Doula and a certified Chiropractic Assistant. I have been involved in midwifery since early 1999 when I was certified as a Birth Doula through DONA, Int. and attended my first birth as a student midwife. The following year, I enrolled in the Midwifery Training Institute of American – a long distance learning course based out of Dallas, TX. During this time I learned hands-on midwifery skills under several different midwives during short-term apprenticeships. I completed three years with MTI, and then transferred to the Midwife to Be Program in South Carolina. I graduated from the Midwife to Be course in the summer of 2005 and began attending births as a primary midwife.

In 2009, I furthered my education by pursuing certification in Birth Emergency Skills Training. This intensive training is specifically geared for out-of-hospital midwives. I also maintain current certification in neonatal resuscitation and participate in local and regional continuing education opportunities.

I am a traditional midwife, not a certified nurse-midwife. I have attended over 200 births as a primary care provider and am planning on taking the NARM exam in the spring of 2019.
