“I was in my twenties back then and being young, I hesitated at the thought of creating a solo midwife practice. Instead I went back to school and began working as a neonatal ICU nurse. To go from attending holistic natural births to working in one of the most intensive ICUs in modern medicine may not be a common path, but that was my path. It gave me a lot of perspective into both styles of healthcare and insight into the gaps that exist in each.”
