Sunshine Midwifery 
 
 
My Road to Midwifery  I am a graduate of the National Midwifery Institute, a three-year distance learning program, which aided me through the path of licensure in the state of California. I have attended roughly 120 births both in the capacity of doula, student, and midwife in the six years I have been attending births. I passed my NARM exam in 2005, and have received my midwifery license for the state of California. I began my journey towards midwifery in 2000, almost two years after the birth of my second child. It was then that I learned of homebirth, and was immediately drawn to it. I became a doula in order to gain some experience with birth, but always with the vision of becoming a midwife. Since then, I have become an assistant to several midwives in the area. I feel this has helped me to round out my education and see more of the possibilities of many situations. I am currently trying to build my homebirth practice while I continue my work as a doula in the hospitals. I am currently a member of the California Association of Midwives (CAM) Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) Citizens for Midwifery (CfM), Birth Network of Santa Cruz County and Birth Doulas of Santa Cruz County. I am also the regional representative for CAM region 7 which includes Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito Counties. In addition to being a midwife, I am also the mother to two wonderful children. I live in Felton, CA with them and their father, who I have been married to since 1995.http://nationalmidwiferyinstitute.comhttp://californiamidwives.orghttp://mana.orghttp://birthnet.orghttp://scdoulas.comshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2shapeimage_4_link_3shapeimage_4_link_4
Much Gratitude goes out to the midwives who have helped me along my path, the families I have served, and my family who has supported me through thick and thin. My heart is full.
