Aimee’s Midwifery Story
My journey into midwifery began with the birth of my first child in 1996. That experience opened my eyes to just how meaningful it is to feel informed, supported, and genuinely cared for during pregnancy and birth. What began as a personal interest quickly grew into a lifelong calling.
By 1999, I was working as a doula and childbirth educator, spending time with growing families and learning everything I could about pregnancy, birth, and the incredible work of midwives. I went on to apprentice with midwives in Virginia and Louisiana, with additional opportunities to learn in Senegal and at The Farm in Tennessee. Those early years gave me a deep appreciation for the traditional knowledge, hands-on skills, and relationships that have always been at the heart of midwifery.
In 2007, my path crossed with Desiree's while we were both apprentice midwives. We quickly discovered how much we shared in our approach to care, and in 2009, we founded Ten Moons Midwifery together.
Always Learning, Always Growing
One thing I've learned over the years is that there's always more to learn.
Alongside my work attending home births, I've continued my education in nursing, lactation, and advanced midwifery practice. I've worked as a labor and delivery nurse in Brooklyn, cared for families in birth center settings, and earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Columbia University, a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Midwifery, and my Certified Nurse Midwife credential in 2024.
I'm also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and supporting mothers through breastfeeding has been another meaningful part of my work.
Each of these experiences has shaped the midwife I am today. I love bringing together the wisdom of traditional home birth midwifery with the clinical knowledge and perspective I've gained in other settings.
Coming Home to the Shenandoah Valley
After years of learning and working in different places, returning to the Shenandoah Valley and home birth care in 2024 felt like coming full circle.
Today, I care for families in Front Royal and throughout Northern Virginia alongside Desiree, just as we have for so many years. We each bring different strengths and experiences to our partnership, but we share a belief that good midwifery care should be personal, thoughtful, and built on trust.
As a mother of three myself, I know how much these seasons of life can shape us. I also know that every woman's experience is her own. My hope is that when we work together, you feel comfortable being yourself, asking every question on your mind, and making decisions that feel right for you and your family.
I'd love to get to know you and hear what you're hoping for in your care.
