Heather McCullough LCPM, CLD, CPD, CLE

Profile:

I feel like the luckiest person in the world, able to support families, students, and other birth workers create space and choice for birth.

A passionate, experienced, and innovative birth provider for over 25 years, Heather began birth work at 19. Initially going to pre-med to become an OB-Gyn, she re-directed to Midwifery and became a Certified Professional Midwife. She practiced in Portland, Oregon at the wonderful Andaluz Waterbirth Center. With a move back to the midwest, settling in Chicago, she developed 312Doulas, and HMBirth, her home birth midwifery service. Supporting 16-20 clients per month in Chicagoland, while teaching many classes and in-services, including Evidence Based Birth® for families, doulas, and educators. In addition to her work in Chicago, Heather is also a Midwife at Authentic Birth Center in Milwaukee, WI.
