Certified Nurse Midwives

A certified nurse midwife (CNM) is a highly trained and skilled healthcare professional who provides a wide range of services to women throughout their reproductive years. Whether you are trying to conceive, trying to avoid conception, are pregnant, in the postpartum period, experiencing the changes of menopause, or none of the above- a CNM can help you navigate the many physical and emotional changes that you experience throughout your life.

Though several key services provided by CNMs are prenatal, birth and postpartum care, Candescent Health and Wellness chooses to focus on the other services a CNM is qualified and skilled to provide. Services provided by Candescent Health and wellness include gynecological exams and pap smears, menopause management, sex counseling and education, and counseling and prescriptions related to contraception for those hoping to avoid conception as well as those who medically benefit from contraceptive medications.

Certified Nurse Midwives are able to provide General Health and Wellness visits for individuals assigned female at birth, and those for which the specific CNM has been trained to provide care for. Claire Walker, CNM, has been trained in sexuality counseling and education, and as such offers sexuality counseling and education for individuals identifying as female, those assigned female at birth, and those who are partners to these people. Additionally, Claire has been trained in aesthetic injectables and dermal fillers. Aesthetic injectables include neuro-modulators and neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport and Jeaveau. Claire is able to provide these services to both men and women.

If you are seeking a CNM who provides prenatal, birth and postpartum related service, Claire has a healthy network of local referrals she would be happy to discuss with you.

Overall, a certified nurse midwife is a valuable healthcare provider who can provide a wide range of services to women throughout their reproductive years. They are skilled in providing personalized, low-intervention care and are dedicated to ensuring that you and your baby are healthy and happy. If you are looking for a healthcare provider who can provide comprehensive, holistic care, a CNM may be the perfect fit for you.
