Meet one of our newest board leaders, Claire Reed. Claire and Meghan went to the Indiana Midwifery Committee meeting on Monday. Dr Nathan Riley was given approval to collaborate with more than 4 midwives in the state.

Claire is a Christian, prolife, wife, mother of 2, and a member of the Osage Nation residing in rural Indiana. She has a bachelor's degree in health services and currently holds a certified clinical medical assistant license. She has experience in long term care and both early childhood education and parenting education. She is passionate about promoting breastfeeding and safe co-sleeping and now also homebirth and midwifery care since having experienced a traumatic hospital birth and then a glorious water birth with a midwife. She also has experience speaking before the legislature and is involved in the local Christian pregnancy resource center.

Fun fact: Claire was born at home in Indiana with an Amish midwife!
