Certified Nurse Midwife Women's Health Specialists, Chicago

"I have been practicing as a nurse-midwife for 16 years. It was the birth of my son at home 24 years ago that led me to a career in midwifery. My experience was intensely spiritual and empowering, and I decided to pursue midwifery to help women enjoy their births as much as I have. I have never regretted this choice - not even when that phone rings at 3:00 a.m.!"
