Denise started her midwifery career in 1980 in the Santa Cruz Hills of California. Herself the mother of three children, Denise has felt passionately about her calling as a midwife from the beginning of her career. In 1985, she moved to Idaho and opened her practice in Sandpoint, where she has since delivered hundreds of happy, healthy babies in the area.
