" Being Born is Important!
You who have stood at the bedposts and seen a mother on her high harvest day, the day of the most golden of harvest moons for her. You know that being born is important. You who have seen this love's pay day of wild toiling and sweet agonizing, you who have seen the new, wet child dried behind the ears, swaddled in soft fresh garments, you know that nothing else was ever so important to you." Carl Sandburg ___________________________ In addition to being a midwife for 25 years, I am an herbalist, wife, mother, grandmother, Christian, teacher, gardener, woodworker, backpacker, student of life. I have 3 years experience as a crisis intervention hotline telephone counselor, and received my licensure as an EMT in 1993. I teach OB/GYN refresher courses for EMT’s and Paramedics, have taught for the Massachusetts Midwives Alliance Basic Course in Midwifery Skills and Hands of Light Midwifery School, as well as serving on my local Board of Health. I am also a Qualified Evaluator for midwifery skills for the North American Registry of Midwives, and I run a small, mail-order herbal preparation business, Earthcrafts Botanicals, from my home.
I practice from my home/office set in three acres of organically managed gardens and woodland, where I grow the herbs for Earthcrafts and provide sanctuary for endangered plant species (and an incredible number of very busy chipmunks). Range of coverage: Within 60 miles of Uxbridge.
