Summertime...

It has been a wonderful summer here in Bluefield so far.  I have been on call for 5 weeks and experienced birth with my first family here in West Virginia.  What a wonderful family to work with.  I'm still on call, awaiting another little one sometime in the next couple of weeks.  I have been hard at work cranking out Informed Choice documents and handouts for my families, education and information are so, so important during this time. If there is something you wanted to know but were afraid to ask, now is the time.  Chances are if I don't already have an IC Document or Handout about it, it is in the works.  Feel free to offer suggestions as to the types of things YOU would like to know.

I have officially started working with Haylea Musick as an apprentice, and Sandra Rose as birth assistant.  These ladies will be deeply involved in every aspect of Wiyama Midwifery.  They will be at prenatal visits so everyone has the opportunity to get to know them personally.  I will add Sandra to the About the Providers page as soon as I can.

If you are looking for a health & nutrition coach or for personalized hypnosis Denise Borgeson is here for those needs as well.  Feel free to call me and ask about her services and I can forward you on to her.

Website Up and Active...

Website up and active...It was quite the process to get my domain transferred over, and get my website tweaked and to my liking.  I know there may still be some editing to be done, so please be patient with me.  I am really pleased with how it has all come together.  I'm especially excited to put the first new birth announcement up!  I officially go on call on Monday for my first birth since relocating Wiyama to Bluefield.  I might even venture to say I am more excited than the mama is!  I have to send out a special THANK YOU to my family, who has been super supportive through the move and helping to create a work space for where my homebirth families can come for classes and prenatal care and feel at home.  My 14 year old, Kody, stripped the paint off of the walls in my office so it could be repainted. <3

The long and short of it is that I finally feel like I am home.  This is a good feeling.

Roll Out of Wiyama's New Website...

Welcome to Wiyama Midwifery's new home on the web.  Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.  Here you will find lots of information about Wiyama, as well as articles and news, birth announcements, and a shopping page custom made for homebirthing families.  Moving Wiyama Midwifery to Bluefield was quite the undertaking, but a brand new location, new office, and new clients have me feeling so excited to begin serving the families of Southern West Virginia.  Updates to this blog will be posted on my Wiyama's facebook page.  Please add yourself to that page if you are interested in receiveing blog updates!  Feel free to email me any feedback you might have!
