AMIE STORM, LM, CPM

I have been involved in birth work since 2008 and have attended over 500 births since then. I am certified in CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP).
I have been trained and have learned so much from some amazing midwives throughout the years. I obtained my CPM and Idaho Midwifery License in early 2018. I have been here in North Idaho serving in the birth community for 7 years and I love the families I get to work with and provide care to.
Early on in my journey I was a phlebotomist and worked in an out-patient lab for 5 years. I loved my job and learned it quickly. I had no idea then how important this skill would be in my future as a midwife. My interest in birth started when I attended the home birth of a family friend when I was 18. Since the moment I saw and experienced midwifery care it has held a special place in my heart.
When I married my husband we decided to have our three children at home with a midwife. Having our babies at home was exactly what I wanted and an experience I want to give to other families in our community.
I have been asked by clients why I wanted to become a midwife. This is a great question to ask any midwife. I wanted to become a midwife because giving women the option to choose where and how they wanted to birth is important to me. I was given that choice and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Being a midwife must be a calling, it’s not a job, it is part of who you are. The knowledge, skill and compassion that goes into each decision is imperative to a mother’s experience.
