She believes strongly in certified nurse midwives (CNMs) practicing side-byside with physicians to give women the choice of a variety of natural birth options. She chose to give birth to her two sons with a CNM in a hospital, using hypnobirthing for strength and focus. Her efforts have expanded women’s choices and changed the way many women give birth at NAMC.
