Find a Midwife Near Me in Bolingbrook, IL

I am a solo practice Certified Nurse Midwife with over 10 years of experience attending births in various settings in the Chicago area -- half of my midwifery career in several different types of hospitals; and the other half in home birth and at a free-standing birth center. My passion is to provide individualized, holistic, trauma-informed care to individuals and families seeking personal, loving support on their pregnancy, birth, and reproductive wellness journeys. Clients in my care will note that I am very knowledgable, warm, confident, and offer my service in the spirit of partnership with my clients. Anti-oppression is very important to me, and clients will find that my practice is inclusive, aware of the impact of social issues on health outcomes, and that I embrace a Health at Every Size approach. Additionally, my co-owner is a traditional birth worker who offers all of our clients the option of hiring her for individualized Birth Mentorship, as well as provides all home birth clients a postpartum closing. Her herbal products are also included in the birth kit, for a well-supported postpartum.

I’m Connie Lambeth, a Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife. My love of birth started as a preschooler — when my mother asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up — I knew I wanted to catch babies. I had the ability to receive midwifery care during both of my pregnancies and births, and postpartum experiences. Directly benefitting from midwifery care lit the fire in my life of what is possible for individualized holistic healthcare. I’ve been professionally involved in birthwork since 2015, first as a certified doula and Hypnobirthing childbirth educator, and now as a midwife. I earned my midwifery degree from the National College of Midwifery based out of Taos, NM, and studied my hands-on learning over an intensive two years. I had the honor of apprenticing with two home birth midwives in the Madison area, and at a high volume out-of-hospital birth center in Milwaukee under the guidance of five midwives and one physician. Before becoming a midwife, I was a teacher (I’ve taught early childhood to adult learners, from Public to Montessori), with a Master’s Degree in Educational Research. As a lifelong learner and experiential educator, I see pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting as life’s greatest experiential lessons. Although I don’t teach in a classroom anymore, I use my background as a teacher, educator, and researcher to help families to make informed choices and feel supported while they grow. I’m committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in my practice of culturally competent and comprehensive midwifery care. I value each individual navigating their childbearing year tremendously and strive to do everything I can do to support them in reaching their goals. Helping individuals and their families during one of the most influential transitions of their lives speaks to my values and most natural skill set: compassion, empathy, and openness.
