Midwife
Cheryl Rowe completed her training in midwifery in 1993 and has worked in this field for 30 years. She has worked in the labor ward setting for a long time, and while she gained experience in managing various pregnancy complications, she also realized the need for a softer and gentler approach of birthing for mothers who have low-risk pregnancies. She is an advocate of less interventional deliveries to keep them as natural as possible. Having started her private practice in 1999, Rowe has delivered nearly 1,000 babies. She herself had two water births at home, which made her belief stronger that women have a right to choose the kind of birth they want and go for a holistic approach.
