MIDWIVES
MADELEINE wisner LM

Madeleine began attending births as a doula in 2010. She enrolled in midwifery school in 2013, and her clinical training included working in a freestanding birth center for Medi-Cal families in Sacramento, working in home birth practices in Sacramento and Modesto, and working in several birth centers in Utah.
She attended Midwives College of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) and the National College of Midwifery (Taos, NM), two accredited, California Medical Board-approved midwifery education programs. She also attended American Public University and studied Public Health. She was privileged to work alongside and learn from Certified Professional Midwives, Certified Nurse-Midwives, Obstetricians, and Pediatricians through the course of her midwifery training.
Madeleine holds an Associate Degree of Science in Midwifery from the National College of Midwifery. She has been licensed to provide midwifery care in California since 2017 and is certified by the North American Registry of Midwives. She holds current certifications in Neonatal Resuscitation and Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers.
Through her experiences working with childbearing families, she has come to respect pregnancy and childbirth as an intense and transformative process for all who participate. Each birth is unique and special, and demands individualized care and attention. It is Madeleine's hope that every family can have a positive and memorable adventure bringing life into the world, and she is privileged to provide her experience, support, and encouragement to clients as a member of their healthcare team.
In addition to attending births as a midwife, Madeleine is committed to increasing access to health services for underserved community members. She sits on several boards advocating for the health and dignity of pregnant people and children in her region. She is especially passionate about creating respectful, affordable, and clinically excellent training sites for student midwives and other future healthcare providers.
Madeleine is currently a clinical and academic instructor for midwifery students through Welcome Home Midwifery Services.
Madeleine loves cooking for friends, reading, and sleeping in.
She lives in Sacramento with her spouse, her daughter, and her pet bunny.
