Sue Wolcott LM, CPM, RN

       My intention is to empower women to ease into their birth adventure through education, knowledge and CHOICE.  I have been involved in the birth arena since 1975.  I began as a labor coach and became interested in midwifery after witnessing the disturbing contrast of hospital verse homebirth concerning normal low-risk pregnancies.  My clinical experience consists of a five-year apprenticeship with a Certified Nurse Midwife combined with study from the Seattle School of Midwifery and completing/passing the California Challenge Process.  I attended an internship at Casa De Naciemento, a birthing clinic on the Texas/Jaurez border and completed another succession at the Maternity Center In Miami Beach, FL (currently on TV as "House of Babies").  I am licensed to practice midwifery by the Medical Board of California  and I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), certified by the National Assoc. of Registered Midwives (NARM). I am a graduate from Clayton College where I received a degree in  traditional naturopathy in 1995. My knowledge in alternative medicine helps to keep my perspective of pregnancy, labor, birth and the breastfeeding process natural.  I received my RN in 2000.  I have worked in labor and delivery as a OB Nurse in a small rural hospital, as well as completed a high-risk training course in a level 4 hospital.  During most summers since 1998, I have worked and taught in many birth centers, both in and out of the U.S.  I have attended 900+ births and I deeply trust in the process of natural childbirth.  Personally I have given birth to four children.  My children are now grown, and I'm blessed with two grandchildren.  My first grandson was born at home, in warm water, into my hands.
