AnnMarie is a Certified Professional Midwife who joined Birthwise Midwifery Service in 2007. She has attended births at home and in a birth center since 2004, and in the hospital as a doula, since 2002. She graduated from Birthwise Midwifery School after completing much of her training at a freestanding birth center in Florida. She will bring her experience there to The Birth House in Maine.


When she’s not midwifing, AnnMarie enjoys spending time outside, growing vegetables and working with herbs when it’s warm; tromping in the snow and knitting for the other 10 months of the year. She and her husband Pat are excited to return to Maine and live in Bridgton with their daughter Hazel.
