Cindy’s midwifery career has spanned over 25 years including hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. Currently, she is choosing to serve the women under the care of Certified Professional Midwives in Arkansas and Oklahoma who desire homebirth. She provides risk assessments, consultation, co-management, diagnostic testing, and prescriptive management for both pregnant and well women.  

​

Her past experience includes 8 years as Assistant Professor of Nursing at UAMS for the Baccalaureate Program, 6 years of service in the United States Army as a nurse on labor and delivery, and work as an EMT/paramedic.  Her academic credentials include a BSN from UAMS, an MSN from Case Western Reserve University and a Certificate of Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University.  She serves on the Arkansas Midwifery Advisory Board (MAB); she is an Affiliate with the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM), and a  member of the Advanced Practice Nurse Association of Arkansas.

​

Cindy believes “the role of the midwife is to educate and to serve, safeguard the health of both mother and babe through close surveillance, maintain an atmosphere for family intimacy and bonding, and empower families to make informed decisions about their care.”  She considers serving the women of Arkansas her calling and is fortunate to work with such a fabulous group of midwives, doulas, and nurses. 

​

When she’s not supporting women, she likes to spend time with her family in Arkansas, Texas, and Pennsylvania, and enjoys gardening, theme parks, and weekends with her grand babies.
