I began attending births as an apprentice in 1982 and continued assisting at homebirths off and on for many years. During that time I became certified as a childbirth educator and childbirth assistant or doula, and gave birth to two of my own children at home with midwives. I've been a registered nurse since 1985, working in the newborn nursery, post partum, high-risk antepartum, labor & delivery, and home health nursing. I have assisted at around 150 births as a labor & delivery nurse, and as either the primary or assistant midwife at over 150 planned homebirths. I completed requirements for licensure as a New Mexico midwife and Certified Professional Midwife in 2002. In 2007, I will complete a yearlong training in massage therapy and natural therapeutics.
I can offer my clients the best of both worlds; a wholistic approach based on natural healing and incorporating appropriate use of medical technology. I provide careful, thorough prenatal care; nutritional counseling; childbirth education; one-on-one labor support; expert birth assistance; complete newborn exam; breastfeeding support; comprehensive postpartum care; and access to my lending library and a variety of natural healing techniques. I am sometimes available to travel outside the Albuquerque area. Learn more about my services at

Dusty,
You're a wonderful midwife and my family and I were blessed to have you care for us before, during, and after the birth of our angel. Thank you so much for your loving support during the rough times of my pregnancy, as well as my labor and birth. I appreciate all you did after Savannah was born. You went above and beyond your professional duty.
Many blessings and much love,
Kristin
