Mission
As a Certified Nurse-Midwife in Logan, Utah, D’Anne works with the classic midwifery model. She bases her practice on the knowledge that most pregnancies, labor, and births are normal biological processes and results in healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.
D’Anne focuses on the health and wellness of both the woman and her baby. She identifies and manages medical problems early on and attends to the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of pregnancy and birth. During the birth process, D’Anne seeks to protect, support, and avoid interfering in the unique rhythm, character, and timing of each woman’s labor. However, she is also trained to be vigilant in identifying serious complications and seeking care from the appropriate medical care provider. Medical intervention and expertise are sought when necessary, but are not routine.
