midwife 4 life

My name is Sherri Holley and I am a CPM ( Certifed Professional Midwife)and I am also a traveling midwife offering home birth to families all over the world. I formerly I owned the Last Frontier Midwifery Birth Center in Farmington, New Mexico,practiced here since the end of 1999 and I practiced Midwifery in Alaska for 21 years).I have owned full care womens clinics/birth centers before through out my 29 yrs of practice. I do pregnancy care, water births,home births, postpartum care with lactation consultation, yearly exams for women offering the thin prep pap testing, Mammacare breast exams, working on hormonal imbalances and menospausal care, often using my intitive healing methods-allowing me to use most of the alternative methods of healing. I am a Homeopathic, Herbal,Certified Professional Midwife. I've "caught" over 1,800 babies.from 4lbs to 14 lbs. twins, breeches and I have being attending VBAC'since 1980. I have been "doing" water births since 1982.I am Blackfoot and Apache(Father) and Hungarian (Mother) and am heavily influenced by my native culture and how it works with my approach to midwifery and health and my life and how I look at the world and deal with people. I try to look into the heart of people, rather than look at how their outside looks. Born right out of Detroit Michigan, moved to Alaska at 3 months of age. I grew up in Alaska. Last Frontier- nothing like it, I practiced midwifery in Alaska for 21 yrs. I and 2 other midwives started the Midwives Association of Alaska in 1982. We were one of the only states at that time had self regulations of midiwfery. However in 1984-1985 Alaska made it illegal for Midwifery so I filed a Class Action suit against the State of Alaska for restraint of trade. I WON for rights of other Midwives to practice in Alaska and for all the Families that wanted midwifery care. At that time I was the only midwife practicing full time in Alaska. Another midwife and I co-wrote the rules/regulations/bi-laws/ethics in 1985. However they were revised again in 1990 and possibly since then. I ran 3 different birth centers, having had the very first birth center that had opened in Anchorage, Alaska and openly offered water births. I continued to practice in Alaska until the end of 1999.I then moved to Farmington, New Mexico, and opened the first birth center there.(there had been very limited midwifery care there before).Started in a 1000sq. foot clinic for women and later moved to a 6,000 sq foot birth center.Use to be a wild, wild, wild child, still am in my own way. Have traveled many, many places, some on this earth and some not. Practicing Radical midwife since 1979,in Alaska and now New Mexico. Radical because I make my own choices and I encourage you to make yours.Mother to Shawn and Chase both born @ home in 1979 and 1990. They've been non vaccinated and homeschooled and bi-polar and raised vegan. A very couragous act when these things were very unpopular now and then. I have had Lupus for over 36 yrs!I try to enjoy life as much as possible,have fun, and not hurt the earth, people or animals.My totems/fetishes were given to me many years ago are the Wolf,the Polar Bear and the Raven. Hope you enjoy my sapce, what my thought are ( right or wrong their mine) and please visit my pic's. There are not of me, but of different thoughts, humoris and not. Please enjoy!
