Our Midwives

At the Midwifery Group at Swedish, we believe that a strong and trusting relationship between you and your healthcare provider is essential to achieving your healthcare goals.  As a result, you’ll find that each of our certified nurse midwives (CNMs) are not only highly skilled and experienced medical practitioners, but also attentive listeners, knowledgeable counselors and compassionate caregivers. This unique combination of qualities allows you to not only feel confident about the quality of care you are receiving, but also comfortable and at ease discussing questions and concerns that may arise during various stages of life.

All of our CNMs are registered nurses (RNs) with master’s degrees in midwifery. Backed by more than 30 years of combined experience and expertise, our CNMs are all certified by The American College of Nurse Midwives and licensed by the state of Colorado.
