Some of you are aware that we have been having meetings with the health department facilities committee for the last couple of months on issues surrounding the one room birthing center.  The issue was raised by some of the employees in the maternal child health division of the health department.  Their desire was to see one room birthing centers closed down because these maternal child health employees believe that they are dangerous to mothers and babies (no matter what statistics and information we have to prove otherwise).  The outcome was a shockingly happy one!  The vote today was to rewrite birthing center rule to make sure that the one room birthing center remains a legal option without licensing.  That gives us some time to regroup and try for rule writing to make licensing an option for the future.  We appreciate your support and prayers in our behalf.  So until the 2011 legislative session . . .

We loved seeing all of you and your babies growing up.  There was a great turnout of over 400 people enjoying some good food and great conversation.  Everyone seemed to love the look of the new birth center and we loved showing it off.  A great time was had by all.  Remember to come and see us at our open house each month on each 3rd Thursday from 7pm to 8pm (next will be May 20th).

She feels honored to be present when a family chooses this option.  She has extensive knowledge in alternative and natural healing treatments and offers this information to her clients. She loves nurse midwifery and caring for women in all aspects of their lives.
