Katherine S.
Katherine has always been interested in and passionate about reproductive health. Growing up, she found any books with midwives and pregnancy care fascinating, though these stories were always historical narratives or historical fiction. While completing her undergraduate degree at UNH she took a reproductive health class taught by a former nurse-midwife, where she was introduced to the world of modern midwifery care in the US.
Once she learned of the existence of modern midwives, she was hooked. She took a doula course in 2017, and enrolled at Birthwise Midwifery School in 2020 in the Certified Professional Midwifery program. In 2022, she transferred to and is currently a student at National College of Midwifery, in the Associates of Science in Midwifery Program. She plans to be a Certified Professional Midwife, serving Central and Northern NH. She enjoys reading, cooking, being outside as much as possible, and spending time with her partner Brian and their dog Porter.
