She taught childbirth classes to expectant couples, offered doula services in the hospital, taught doula trainings around the US, and apprenticed as a midwife. In 2008, Nancy became a Certified Professional Midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives. In 2010 she became licensed in Idaho, and in 2016 she became licensed in Washington. She has provided the Palouse with midwifery care continuously since she began as an intern in 1999. She was a volunteer EMT for 8 years with the Genesee Fire Department, four of which were as an advanced-EMT. Nancy is the mother of three grown children, and a grandmother. She loves to spin fiber, create beautiful knitted pieces for her family and friends, and garden.
Nancy, you provided us with an amazing prenatal care! We enjoyed all of our visits knowing we are in good hands and our questions are always answered and respected. Knowing you may be gone for when we go into labor, you arranged a backup midwife to ensure our safety and comfort. Thank you for being so supportive, loving, and wonderful! T
Nancy, you provided us with an amazing prenatal care! We enjoyed all of our visits knowing we are in good hands and our questions are always answered and respected. Knowing you may be gone for when we go into labor, you arranged a backup midwife to ensure our safety and comfort. Thank you for being so supportive, loving, and wonderful! Throughout the process we knew we can trust your medical expertise and rely on your experience. The birth center was a great facility for labor and birth. Thank you! ~ Alex
Nancy, you assisted Veronica Lassen and I in delivering our son Samuel nearly 8 years ago. I have never forgotten you and by some strange urging I felt the need to look both you and Veronica up here. So glad to find you, yet deeply sad about what I’ve found with my first sweet midwife. I cannot tell you the difference you made for me wit
Nancy, you assisted Veronica Lassen and I in delivering our son Samuel nearly 8 years ago. I have never forgotten you and by some strange urging I felt the need to look both you and Veronica up here. So glad to find you, yet deeply sad about what I’ve found with my first sweet midwife. I cannot tell you the difference you made for me with my future children (we have 5 now) or the amazing things I’ve accomplished because of the influence you had on me during that delivery. I can never thank you enough. ~ Jessica Perso

I absolutely adore Nancy. She has a warm and gentle presence that helped me feel at home with her from day one. I really feel like the calm and trust in my body that she helped lead me to was a big factor in my ability to have such a great pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I absolutely adore Nancy. She has a warm and gentle presence that helped me feel at home with her from day one. I really feel like the calm and trust in my body that she helped lead me to was a big factor in my ability to have such a great pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I think if I had had the exact same birth in a hospital I’d have been pressured into several interventions, but instead she used her wisdom to guide me into different positions that helped my son and I along when I was “stuck.” She was the perfect person to nurture me into motherhood. ~ MB
