Hello! My name is Anna Fernandez, I am a mother, midwife, herbalist, nurse (among other things! :). As a mother, I chose to give birth at home - one on a hot summer night, the other on the coldest day of the year by the wood stove, both with an amazing midwife, family and friends present. This experienced not only created my new self as a mother but also planted the seed that grew into a midwife. I soon became a Certified Professional Midwife through the PEP process with NARM and I worked for years as a CPM with the honor of attending hundreds of births in the home of amazing families. I then got my masters in midwifery at Frontier Nursing University and became a Certified Nurse Midwife, continuing the honor of serving women and families in both the birth center and hospital settings. As an herbalist, I started Mother Bloom Botanicals back in 1998 when I was living out in the beautiful pacific northwest. At the time, we were homesteading, market gardening, and growing a family. Along side the veggies, I began growing medicinal herbs and made medicines for my community (health food stores, practitioners and farmer's markets) as well as for my clients. I have studied herbal medicine at the Dominion Herbal College, the School for Natural Healing under the teachings of Dr. Christopher as well as completed Aviva Romm's Herbal Medicine for Woman course. I will always grow my own herbs and make medicines, though currently Mother Bloom Botanicals has evolved to focus on education via classes, workshops, consultations and the Great Lakes Herb Faire.
