Aubre Brouillette-Tompkins, CNM

Simple and sweet, I am a midwife. If you want to get technical, I happen to be a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). I have been on this path for quite some time, since 1999 to be exact. Recently, I have developed and opened a new birth center and am proud to serve families in my new home. I am a faculty member with the American Association of Birth Centers and travel the country to teach a workshop on how to start birth centers.

I believe in physiologic birth and that birth must be respected. I believe that a healthy person, when supported and nurtured, will likely remain healthy throughout the pregnancy, labor and birth. And that this pregnant person will grow a healthy baby that is designed to navigate the birth process.  For these families, health is my assumption. I will closely watch and monitor their progress and intervene when necessary. I am a partner with my clients, on equal footing, but I also have years of training and knowledge that I can and will utilize to help educate and guide them.
