Hello!  My name is Lynnette and I have been a licensed midwife since 2006.  I started my midwifery journey when I was pregnant with my first child; as soon as I learned I was pregnant, I went out and bought books!  Years later, I realized that not everyone was so interested in pregnancy and birth and I was probably supposed to pursue midwifery.  It took some time, as I grew my large family, but I started working with midwives for my pregnancies and as time allowed, began attending home births with midwives.  Many years later, I have expanded my education and knowledge in many health and wellness areas: functional health, the menopause transition, and personal training for women. I am happy to join Earthside Birth and Wellness to continue to share and help others with midwifery care and wellness!  My many interests beyond health are traveling, music, and cruises- especially when all three are combined.  

We are so grateful to have her expertise, midwifery wisdom, and caring hands ready to catch babies.

Hannah is an intern midwife on her way to CPM licensure this summer. While finishing school, Hannah will be providing doula services, birth assistance, placental encapsulation and community outreach for our growing clinic. 

During these past 4.5 years, Hannah has been working on her Bachelors of Science in Midwifery with Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. The most recent 3 years she has been diligently serving the wonderful families that make up San Diego and Riverside county. Originally from Chicagoland, she prides herself in coming from a family full of chiropractors and a mother that gave birth to 5 of her 6 babies from the sacred comforts of her home, assisted by rallying midwives. In her free time she enjoys working out, cooking food and the arts.

Sarah is the CEO and cofounder of Earthside Birth and Wellness Center. She began her birth work journey in 2010 after the birth of her 3rd child. Sarah has attended over 110 births both in home, hospital, and birth center settings as a doula, birth assistant, and student midwife. She also holds a B.S in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Biology. While Sarah has largely been a stay-at-home mom to her 5 children, she has owned her own small business consulting for childbirth education, nutritional services, reiki energy work, doula, and is a Certified Lactation Counselor.

Allison has been a birth doula and small business owner for 5 years, and is a cofounder and CFO of Earthside Birth and Wellness Center.

Allison had a successful out-of-hospital birth experience in 2020, and hopes to bring the same opportunity to Wyoming families.
