Meet the Midwife

 Jessica Nipp is a Certified Professional Midwife, registered to practice in the State of Colorado. 

Inspired by her own homebirth in 1995, she was driven to become involved with the childbirth community. Her first step was becoming a licensed massage therapist in 1997, specializing in prenatal and infant massage and attending births as a doula. 

Following the home birth of her second child, she began an active apprenticeship at the Springs Area Midwifery Center and completed her academic and clinical requirements. She also attended Trinity College, recieving a graduate degree in Naturopathic Medicine in 2005.

 Jessica has been attending homebirths since 2001, and as of December 2010 has helped over 400 familes! She currently  lives in Colorado Springs with her husband Todd and 2 children Delaney and Devan.
