Believe Midwifery Services L.L.C.

Penny Lane MSN, CNM has offered speaking engagements on a number of topics, including: birth interventions and their impact on breastfeeding, birthing options, homebirth, history of Nurse Midwifery, breastfeeding basics, bereavement, breech birth, women's health, pregnancy care and fetal growth, legislature and birthing options, and much more.  She has taught obstetrical nursing in an ASN program, and both breastfeeding and midwifery courses within both the undergraduate and graduate programs for midwifery students.  

Penny is a certified Neonatal Resuscitation Provider course instructor and trained to teach the 18-Hour Breastfeeding Curriculum.  This course fulfills the UNICEF recommendations for those who work with mothers and babies. Based on the new 18 hour curriculum in support of the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, this course was developed with support from the US Department of Health and Human Services for the US Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative.

Penny has co-authored a birth assistant course with Paula Miller MSN, RN, CD(DONA).  Additionally, Paula offers the DONA doula program several times a year.

Penny and her staff are eager to discuss Nurse Midwifery and homebirth within the community.  We are available to provide a question and answer opportunity for area medical practices and hospitals, so greater understanding of our scope and practice can be gained, as well as a safe transfer of care and/or collaboration can be obtained.  This is a very respectful and enlightening discussion, which even those most opposed to homebirth and midwifery have appreciated.

As a faith-based practice, we are also eager to discuss women's health issues as a matter of Biblical principle for women's ministries, area churches and MOPS groups.
