Seeking Midwife in Marin
I was wondering if any of you moms have a recommendation for a good midwife or Doula anywhere near Mill Valley. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for you wonderful recommendations. I called Diane H. and have an appointment set up for next week.

Hi S.,
I'm so pleased your considering (or choosing) a midwife for your prenatal, birth and postpartum needs. I'm a student midwife myself, so your request warms my heart.
Here are two midwives specifically in the North Bay:
Joan Green, LM, CPM (she's in Lagunitas)
###-###-####
____@____.com
Diane Holzer, LM, CPM (she's in Fairfax)

____@____.com

They could also direct you to other local midwives and doulas in your area.
I know both of them personally, though I know Diane better. They've both been midwives for a long time and are incredibly skilled at what they do.
Best of luck to you!

Hi S.,
I second the recommendations for Joan Green and Diane Holzer. They were both present at my birth, and did a great job. You might also consider talking to
Griselda Hernandez, Yeshi Newman or Collette Mercier.
Some doulas you might talk to are Susan Bradford and Renee Verduin.
I don't have their information with me this weekend at home, but feel free to contact me personally and I can get that for you when I am back in my office next week.
Best,
