Student Midwives
“Each one, teach one.”
Student Midwives
Midwifery is an ancient art that has traditionally been passed down from generation to generation. In the U.S., Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) must participate in clinical experience under a registered preceptor in order to complete their education. Not only am I committed to providing exceptional client care, but I am also deeply invested in teaching and training the next generation of midwives. By hiring Tree of Life Midwifery, you too, are choosing to invest in the greater midwifery community and the education of future midwives. As a client of Tree of Life Midwifery, you will interact with students along your journey. Students will always be in direct supervision of Morgann Burres, LM CPM and you will never have a student provide care alone.
Hello friends—I’m Deidra (dee-druh)! I am from right here in the desert and truly love calling it home. I have a few favorite names/titles but top of the list are certainly wife and mama. I married my childhood sweetheart and we still pinch ourselves in disbelief that we are living out our dreams of having our own little family. We have two sweet and wild babes, Roc and Rue and they keep us very sleepy but mostly full of joy!
Serving in the birthing community has been my most favorite thing I’ve ever done and the fact that I get to do it as my job is the icing on the cake! I am a DONA trained birth doula and Lamaze trained childbirth educator and the face behind Mother and Earth Doula Services. I consider it an honor to sit with women (and their families) as they transform in the miraculous, wildly vulnerable, primal and sacred journey of pregnancy and birth.
I’m so excited to be continuing this work in my pursuit to become a midwife.
