Maryn Leister

Clinical Assistant

 

“I became interested in pregnancy and birth in 2002, before the birth of my first child, Amelia Gray.  Interested primarily in natural pregnancy and birth, I was disappointed and disillusioned with my first birth experience.

 

So, when I became pregnant again in 2004, I chose to have a waterbirth at home.  It was a wonderful experience with the birth of my son, Egan Andrew.

 

The latest addition to my family is my daughter Talula Skye, born safely at home on October 29, 2006.

 

Right now, I’m in the process of finishing my midwifery apprenticeship with Shell Walker.  in just a short while, I’ll be a licensed Arizona midwife and CPM.

 

I am most passionate about educating, supporting and loving pregnant women and their babies.  There is nothing our bodies know how to do more naturally than be pregnant and give birth.  Most of all, I’m dedicated to ‘walking with women’ during this time and helping every woman realize the incredible power she has to grow and birth another human being”!
