A Legacy of Love and Life
Fearless
Nora’s journey into midwifery began as a little girl when she was captivated by the beauty of life watching her cat give birth to kittens. Starting her practice before midwifery was formalized in the 1970s, she was among the “fly-by-night midwives” who paved the way for what the profession is today. Once licensing became available, Nora earned her credentials and continued to serve families with love and dedication for decades.
Although she has tried to retire, Nora’s deep calling to care for families keeps bringing her back. She has proudly delivered multiple generations of babies, including children of her former clients and now even a few third-generation births. Today, she is passing on her wealth of knowledge to the next generation of midwives, ensuring her legacy of compassionate care continues.
