Meet the Santa Cruz Midwives
Sharon Potteiger’s journey to midwifery began in the Santa Cruz mountains, when she attended her first birth at 18 years old.
Kara O’Loughlin began her midwifery training in Dublin, Ireland, at the busiest maternity hospital in Europe.
As a team, their backgrounds mesh together to provide you with the type of comprehensive and collaborative care that you can only get from two midwives.
Your Birth … Your Way
Choosing a midwife is about more than simply having a home birth. It’s about creating an environment to give birth the way you want.
It’s about having a caring, compassionate, nourishing and highly skilled support system for every step of your journey.
