Midwifery as a multidisciplinary practice
“I was drawn to midwifery because midwives are specialists in normal women’s health and preventative health care. Midwives are expert screeners. We educate and guide women in health through the many different phases of their lives. Midwifery practice is multidisciplinary in nature, incorporating knowledge from nursing and medicine as well as herbalism, psychology, social work, and mind-body science. This holistic appropach to health and wellness makes good intuitive sense: drawing from multiple knowledge bases optimizes individual health and wellness. Additional functional medicine training focuses on the biochemical individuality of each woman, affording a truly individualized plan of care.”

Meeting women wherever they are
“Working in women’s health has taught me to meet women where they are. This place is highly individualized and dynamic. For example, contraceptive and dietary needs change as a woman moves through her life. What a woman used for contraception before having children may no longer make sense for her after she has had children, or food choices that worked at one point in her life may later result in unwanted weight gain. Meeting women where they are becomes the basis of care, the place from which a realistic plan can be developed, and the place from which a woman can learn to rely on herself to address her physical, emotional, and spiritual health.”
