Hi All. Yvonda here and very glad to be so.
I am a Florida Licensed Midwife and a Certified
Professional Midwife with the North American Registry of Midwives. I am also a
20 year nurse.
Currently, I have a small home birth practice in
central Florida. I have attended births at home, in birth center and in
hospital. I am told that I am one of the first, if not the first, direct-entry
midwife in the USA in recent history to have a hospital-based practice with
medical staff privileges. I disclose this because of the unbelievable learning
experience it provided, not because I think it is necessarily a positive
experience or an envious or desirable position to be in.
My areas of special interest are proper charting and
documentation for statistics gathering and peer review as well as quality
improvement issues in midwifery practice. What keeps
me going and practicing is an acute awareness of the awesome spiritualness and
holiness of birth. I consider myself a servant to this earth holding a high
office and am humbled by the inconceivable responsibility of it
all!
Love and
Blessings,
Yvonda
