As a second generation midwife, my journey with physiological birth goes back to the day I was born at home. It not only changed my mother's life forever, but it also changed mine. I was the only one out of four to be born at home. About a year after my birth, my mother became a midwife's assistant and starting working with one of the most influential midwives in the state. That led her into the passion and joy of midwifery.  When I was a little older, my mother went back to school to become a midwife. She has been a midwife in practice for over 15 years, with 27 years of experience. Growing up I never would have imagined this would have been my calling. At the time I was in a Russian ballet company touring the world, midwifery and anything medical was not on my radar. At 17, I graduated high school unsure of my path. By 18, my mother convinced me to attend a few births. This changed my life and heart forever. I witnessed enpowered women, doing incredible things, with individualized support and love. I became a DONA certified doula to continue working on birth teams as I started looking into midwifery schools. I obtained my education at the National Midwifery Institute  in Vermont, and graduated in 2018. In my apprenticeship, I had the great privilege of working with my mother Jami Morris LM, CPM, and Susan Smart LM, CPM,. My apprenticeship included both home birth and birth centers.  Following graduation, I passed the national midwifery boards of NARM. I have been in private practice for 5 years. I truly believe being a midwife is the greatest job in the world. My life's passion is dedicated to women's health. It is my honor to  be invited into one of life's most sacred journeys with your family. I have watched my mother serve women, their families, and our community my whole life. I can't think of anything more rewarding than this. My mother has been my role model in more ways than one, and we still work together to this day as the only mother-daughter team in South Carolina. My goal is to change health care in South Carolina. At LMLD Midwifery we are doing that one family at a time. The experience of pregnancy and birth has changed over the years, especially in today’s modern era. I believe that the need for caring, sensitive and traditional midwifery practices during this time are becoming more and more apparent. I see every pregnancy and birth as a miracle, and I feel honored to be considered to be a part of your new adventure.
