Certified Professional Midwife, Certified Nurse Midwife, Certified Lactation Counselor, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant

Aimee has an abiding commitment to the field of maternal and infant health and has served expectant and postpartum families for twenty-five years. She is dedicated to providing respectful, compassionate and individualized care.

Transformed by the experience of giving birth to her first child in 1996, Aimee embarked on the path to midwifery. She became a certified labor doula with Doulas of North America in 1999, while working toward her goal of becoming a certified professional midwife (CPM).

Originally trained and certified in the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth, Aimee taught Bradley classes for seven years before co-writing and teaching a holistic childbirth education curriculum for families seeking to give birth at home.

Aimee completed her clinical midwifery training through apprenticeship with practicing midwives in Virginia and Louisiana. She received additional midwifery training in Senegal with the African Birth Collective, and in Tennessee with the The Farm midwives, before earning the CPM credential in 2009.

The same year, Aimee co-founded Ten Moons Midwifery, a home birth practice that provides primary care of the well mother and newborn throughout the childbearing year. Over the years, Ten Moons Midwifery has offered a variety of community-focused programs to families across the Shenandoah Valley, including birth circles providing support and healing spaces to tell stories and ask questions, and an infant loss sewing circle connecting bereaved parents with one another.

Aimee is also a midwifery educator, a clinical preceptor registered with the North American Registry of Midwives and Midwives College of Utah, providing training and apprenticeships for CPM students. She has been a panelist and speaker on the subjects of pregnancy loss, breastfeeding and midwifery care. During her time in NYC she served as a Clinical Instructor with Columbia University in the Science of Nursing Practice with Childbearing Families course.

Aimee brings a deep interest in botanical medicine to her work. In 2009, she completed a nine-month apprenticeship in the art and science of herbal medicine with Kat Meier of Sacred Plant Traditions. She has led workshops in botanical medicine with an emphasis on the use of herbs for pregnancy, birth and healthy families.

Aimee helps people successfully breastfeed, and when she was an accredited La Leche League leader from 2001 to 2019, she led monthly lactation support group meetings. Currently, she offers private lactation consultations.

Aimee holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Midwifery and a Master of Science in Nursing from Columbia University, and a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Visual and Critical Studies in Photography and Reproductive Health from Virginia Commonwealth University.

After completing her MSN, Aimee worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York serving childbearing families within the nation’s largest public health care system and at Refuah Birth Center, a freestanding birth center in Rockland County, under the umbrella of a Federally Qualified Health Center.

In 2024 she earned the Certified Nurse Midwife credential, and returned to the Shenandoah Valley and homebirth midwifery care.

Aimee is the mother of three breastfed children, each born under the care of midwives.
