Cynthia is a wife, mother, and Certified Professional Midwife.   She has eight children ranging in ages from 15-34 and and has had both hospital and home births with them. She has been married to her international airline pilot husband for thirty-five years and enjoys traveling with him when her schedule allows.. They have six married children and 7 grandchildren, and still have two boys at home, ages 16 & 18 years old. The boys keep her busy with their extracurricular activities including basketball, camping, hiking, hunting, and flying..                                  
Cynthia's desire is to encourage women to understand the choices they have in birth and to assist them in planning for the birth they want, whether it be in the hospital or in a home setting. In 2010, Wichita Birth Assistance was born out of a vision that Cynthia had to grow the birthing community of Wichita by providing both education as well as access. It is also her desire to be proactive in strengthening  relationships between families, doulas,  and midwives, as well as those who are in the medical fields including doctors, nurses, and hospital administrations.  We have a long way to go but we have made great strides.   . 
It has been her great privilege to work in the birthing community for the last twenty years, assisting at friends' births and working intermittently as a birth assistant, certified doula, student midwife, and now as a Certified Professional Midwife. Cynthia stresses the importance of having continuity of care by encouraging moms to choose a doula or a midwife to be part of their birth team. She is humbled by the opportunities she has had to serve families at such monumental times in their lives and by the opportunities she has had to learn more of God's provisions and faithfulness. She has found each mom, each family, and each birth to be unique and would count it her great privilege to assist you with midwifery or doula services.
