Amber Berry LM, CPM, MS

Amber is a certified professional midwife and has a Master of Science in Advanced Midwifery Practice from Anglia Ruskin University. With an education as a midwife and background as a doula and childbirth educator, as well as mom of 7 (yes, seven) children, she brings a wealth of childbirth knowledge to the table. Amber’s 7 children were all natural births with midwives; each was a very different yet equally sacred experience—one was even born in a third world country with a missionary midwife. The tender support given to her during each birth ignited a desire to serve women through their journey of childbirth as a midwife herself. She believes in women’s bodies and their ability to give birth the way it was designed. She also believes in a woman’s right to decide how and where she wants to give birth, be encouraged in that choice and given every opportunity to make it happen as she desires in the healthiest, safest way possible. She also believes in informed consent and being an informed consumer—every couple has the right to be educated about birth and to make their own decisions based on information and facts.

Amber is married to Weston, who serves as a pastor of a local church. Before moving back to the USA, the Berrys served as missionaries in Egypt for 5 years. Amber also has birth experience interning at a missions birth clinic in the Philippines for impoverished women, and has visited birth centers in Haiti and Madagascar.

In 2012, Amber began her midwifery academics and in 2013 began her first internship in the Philippines where she trained at a birth center for impoverished women. In 2014, she and her family returned to the USA where she began birth assisting with midwives while continuing her midwifery academic training. Amber also became a birth doula and assisted women both in and out of hospital births while continuing to birth assist and train with local midwives in home birth and birth center settings. She also became a certified Birth Boot Camp instructor. Amber completed her clinical requirements to open her own private practice in January, 2017. She has a Master of Science degree in Advanced Midwifery Practice from Anglia Ruskin University and maintains certification with the American Heart Association in Basic Life Support and CPR for healthcare professionals (AHA BLS), and in neonatal resuscitation (AHA/AAP NRP) and has attended over 600 births throughout the past decade.
