MARY GIBBONS LM CPM
Mary's calling began early--her first birth experience was with her mother when she was just 12 years old, igniting a lifelong passion for supporting families through birth. She pursued midwifery through high school and college, apprenticing and doulaing before earning her Arizona midwifery license in 2009 and CPM certification through NARM in 2014.
Since then, Mary has lovingly attended over 850 births, offering deeply personalized care informed by both professional training and personal experience. As a mother of 7 children--five welcomed at home, one in a high-risk hospital setting, and one born during an emergency transfer--she intimately understands the spectrum of birth journeys and supports families in the path that feels right for them.
Mary is an avid researcher and lifelong learner, consistently seek the latest information on prenatal safety, natural remedies, client advocacy, and integrative care options. She brings this knowledge into every birth and prenatal visit, empowering families with accurate, up-to-date information.
Mary is certified as a Dr Sears Health Coach, a Childbirth Educator, and a Car Seat Technician, bringing thoughtful, holistic approach to prenatal, birth and early parenting guidance. She holds the Banner Doula Certificate which allows for more seamless transitions when transfer from home birth to hospital care is necessary.
