Our experience

We bring a widely diverse accumulation of experiences to assist you in having the safe, family centered birth you envision.

In 1981 Lindy Casey started attending births in the Las Vegas, Nevada metro area as a doula. After 10 years her good friend and fellow midwife Kaye Bullock, CPM, asked her to come and work with her. Immediately Lindy was serving women in the role of midwife and has since attended about 1000 births as a primary midwife either solo or in partnership with another midwife. Her practice included the quad-state area of Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California and occasionally she has traveled to assist prior clients who have moved further away. In 1994 Lindy and several other Las Vegas midwives began working in a birth center primarily serving Mexican immigrants under the supervision of physicians. The group decided to take their experience and the midwifery model of care to open their own clinic, The Midwife House and Birth Cottage. Over the years The Midwife House supported countless greater Las Vegas metro area women through the childbearing year providing services including pre-pregnancy counseling, wellness consultations, herbal and homeopathic assistance, ultrasound technology, body casting, prenatal care, clinic and homebirth, and end of life care. In 2005 Lindy moved to Wisconsin to fulfill a lifelong dream of living in the North Woods. She became licensed to practice midwifery in Wisconsin in 2007.

My search for my great passion in life and a way to help others started when I was a teenager. As a peace studies major in college, I spent a semester abroad in Namibia. After that I wanted to continue working abroad, so I left college to volunteer in SE Asia. During that time, I discovered an appreciation for the educational opportunities in the US. I wanted to further my education and gain some skills, then return to work abroad. In 2003, I was working on an organic farm in Hawaii when I met a midwife, who offered to teach me to how to be a midwife’s assistant. It was during that 10-week course that I found my calling. Later that year, I began working with Leah Hatcher, a homebirth midwife in NW Wisconsin and have been attending both home and hospital births ever since. I’m now enjoying my work as a midwife, an assistant and as a doula. The more I learn about the natural process of pregnancy and birth the more I want to share that information with everyone. Women should be able to give birth wherever they feel most comfortable and are supported by calm, loving people who have faith and trust in the birth process. I’ll never forget all the firsts that I have experienced in midwifery… the first book I read of beautiful birth stories collected by Ina May Gaskin; the first birth (my nephew, Luke) was so amazing that I forgot to take any pictures for my sister; the first homebirth where the mother was surrounded, not by strangers but by her family and a caring midwife; the first time I helped the midwife catch a baby as she made her way into the world; and so on. I’ve seen how joyful, peaceful, intense and empowering birth can be and with all its wonder and amazement, it still seems perfectly natural. I’m thankful for all those who take the time and have the patience to honor and respect the birth process. ~ Laura Berg
