CBS Midwifery was established in 1982, and by 1997 had helped birth over 2,000 babies. Obstetrical and well-woman gynecology care is provided by Barbara Sellars, CNM, who is certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Barbara, herself, has helped birth over 1200 babies. Midwifery is recognized as a licensed profession by the state of New York and Barbara has the legal authority to write prescriptions.
"I was a mother before I was a nurse or midwife, and my own experiences shaped my vision of what women's health care should be," comments Barbara, "I know first-hand what a difference information and a sense of control can make when you are having a baby. Each woman and her partner are different, and there is no "right way" to give birth. My goal is to help each couple find their way to a safe and satisfying birth experience."
