I've been involved with birth for 35 years now and licensed as a midwife in AZ since 1987. I've also worked as a nurse on labor and delivery. I have four children myself, all born at home, and one grandson. I have two books published. My second one, Amazing Birth Stories, came out December 2006. You can check my website for information on the books and other information helpful for birthing families. I also have received a wonderful book review in the Midwifery Today Magazine. |

Wendi Cleckner, LM and Sarah Blum-Shellar (480) 628-2135 cell (480) 871-9723 pager
Global midwifery has three midwives working together. I (Wendi) am the main midwife, meaning, I am usually at all prenatal, birth and postpartum visits. Ginger Trudgen is my primary partner and Sue Disilvestro backs us up for the “just in cases”. We feel it is very important to have 2 licensed midwives at every birth. An apprentice midwife will also be at the birth. Our services include preconception counseling, comprehensive personalized prenatal care, labor and birth in your home (including waterbirth if desired), 6 weeks of postpartum visits, well woman care, extensive newborn exams and availability to you for questions and concerns 24/7. The first initial exam is free of charge. Our passion is to empower women with knowledge and encouragement to make informed decisions that will lead to a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth! |

Her hobbies include music, writing, and crafts. She attended Glendale Community College's nursing program. Carol is a Christian and attends New Life Community Church in Peoria.
She became interested in homebirth because of her own experiences with traditional hospital births. She became a doula (labor assistant) in 1989. Having her first homebirth in 1991, she became convinced of the benefits of homebirth for both mother and baby. She believes that she was called to become a midwife and began her training in 1995. She studied and apprenticed under two respected midwives. She graduated from Ancient Art School of Midwifery. Since beginning her own practice in 1997, she has educated women, helped them to understand their choices, and to achieve a satisfying birth experience. She has delivered over 300 babies.
