More Than Birth-Midwifery, LLC

Brenda is committed to providing professional, compassionate care to clients of all races, colors, cultures, religions and genders. She recognizes that pregnancy and birth involve the whole person, not just the physical body. She strives to always be respectful of others’ boundaries, spiritual or otherwise.

Faith provides the foundation from which Brenda draws strength for herself and encouragement for others. She uses principles found in the Bible to guide the decisions which she makes, because her faith in Jesus Christ as God has changed her life and given her hope for eternity.

Brenda gave birth naturally herself to seven children – six of whom were born at home in water. She also experienced 2 miscarriages. She knows the benefits of homebirth and midwifery care firsthand from a client’s perspective. And she understands motherhood as experienced on her own personal journey.

She not only has experience as a mother, but also as a nurse. Brenda obtained a four-year degree in Nursing and gained subsequent hospital experience as an RN, before following her passion and pursuing midwifery training.

Following years of midwifery training, Brenda began More Than Birth-Midwifery, LLC in 2013.
She is certified by the North American Registry of Midwives as a Professional Midwife and was part of the first group of midwives to become licensed in the State of Michigan.

She enjoys research and is committed to participating in ongoing professional education, not limited to but including current certification in neonatal resuscitation and adult lifesaving skills for the professional rescuer, and staying up-to-date to the best of her ability with the latest practices to provide comprehensive and informed guidance to clients and their families.
