Cam is currently a student at the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery in Gainesville Florida and is set to graduate next summer. She has always had a profound interest and love for pregnancy and birth for as long as she can remember. She became a doula in 2015 while finishing her bachelor of science in alternative medicine. With this background, she build a strong foundation and love for individual counseling, patient-centered care, and informed consent. She started at the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery in 2017 but found she needed a break after college in her second year to prioritize life, rest, and grow before returning. In the years between, she build a thriving art business and social media following around her passion for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In 2021, she had her son at home with the support of her husband and midwife friends. After his birth, she knew immediately that she was ready to return to school. She received certifications as a fertility doula and lactation counselor before returning to her training in the spring of 2023. She has since fallen head over heels in love with midwifery. In her free time (which she has very little of in this season) she loves to read, draw, and play video games.
