Concluding 2013

2013 was a busy year for Perfect Gift Midwifery. These past twelve months brought more change both personally and professional than I've seen in quite a while. 

 In February I sat for the NARM exam and became a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in the State of Colorado. This brought new responsibility as I delved into starting my own practice and working with expectant women as an independent midwife. I attended births throughout Colorado from Pueblo to Erie (lots of driving) and enjoyed being the second on call to most of these births as I continued to gain experience and build relationships with other midwifes in the Denver Metro area. I started Perfect Gift Midwifery in an office in Arvada, where I began seeing all of my clients, but new challenges are ahead as I seek to find a new office in 2014 to host prenatal visits. Im trusting this will be a good change both for my practice and the mommies I serve. 



On a personal note this year was busy as well. In May I got married and began building a life with this incredible man I get to call "husband." Being married has been a wonderful change as I now have a partner and best friend to share in life's adventures. Being married to a midwife brings plenty of excitement to my husbands life, but his support and encouragement empower me everyday to pursue my dreams more passionately. Lucky for us we will be adding another addition to our family sometime in May 2014. We are both looking forward to the changes and joys this new life will bring to us. 

Our wedding - May 2013

Baby Faul - Coming May 2014

2014 is already shaping up to be a great year as I continue to build and expand Perfect Gift Midwifery to better serve the women of Colorado on their homebirth journeys. On top of providing prenatal, birth and postpartum care, I will be offering Childbirth Education Classes in 2014 to first time parents who are planning on birthing at home. Educating and empowering couples to become active decision makers in their baby's birth is my goal, as I believe this builds connected, healthy, and happy families. Perfect Gift Midwifery has plenty of exciting changes up ahead but I believe 2014 will bring lots of new babies, happy mommas, and empowering birth experiences to  Colorado.
