I attended Maternidad La Luz, an accredited midwifery school and free-standing birth center located on the US/Mexico border in El Paso Texas.  I successfully completed the advanced three-year program and became a Certified Professional Midwife. I returned to Arizona and opened Sunrise Midwifery in October of 2004.  Additionally, I also hold an Associate of Arts degree and am an IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) with advanced training in breastfeeding and human lactation. I am licensed to practice midwifery in Arizona and New Mexico.

 

 

Meg became a Licensed Midwife in 2014 after completing a four-year apprenticeship with Sunrise Midwifery. She is also a childbirth educator and lactation counselor, bringing a well-rounded perspective to the care and support she provides to growing families.  Meg is the wife of a firefighter and a proud mother of five—one adult son, two teenage daughters, and a young boy and girl whom she is currently focused on raising. Her youngest child was born at home, allowing her to experience her own dream birth firsthand. Her personal experience through the many stages of motherhood has given her a deep appreciation for the joys, challenges, and transitions that come with growing a family.  Outside of midwifery, Meg enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending time with her family. She is also an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and values the opportunity to serve others through both her faith and her work as a midwife.
