About Catherine Serena
I became a midwife because I believe birth is one of life’s most profound transformations. After more than 20 years as an emergency room nurse, I was drawn to supporting healthy, physiologic birth with the same respect for safety, informed choice, and compassionate care. Living and practicing on The Farm, I have the privilege of walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with evidence-based care, deep presence, and trust in the wisdom of women’s bodies.
