Welcome to my website. Let me tell you a little about myself.
When I think of childbirth I'm filled with awe and wonder for the incredible miracle that it is.
     I began apprenticing with midwife Leigh Waggoner in 1995 in Northwestern Wisconsin where we lived for 16 years. After 2 years working side by side with Leigh, I caught my first baby under her supervision and continued to gain experience and knowledge from the generous women who allowed me to be a part of their pregnancies and births. I was also enrolled in the Ancient Art Midwifery Institute and traveled abroad as a student with the International School of Midwifery.
      In 1998 I began having my own clients and in 1999 Leigh Waggoner stopped going to births and I continued to attend homebirths as a primary midwife. I became a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) in 2005 and licensed by the state of WI in 2007.
      In the fall of 2007 my family moved to Madison WI where I'm going to school and continuing to work with women and their families seeking homebirths.
     I'm married to Keith Hatcher, an elementary school teacher and principal, and we have 4 children, Sierra, Naomi, Kelah and Asa.
