Your baby, your birth, your choice.
​So why choose a midwife? ​

It's simple: because you get more personal attention and availability. And in moments like this, it matters.

​Midwives spend far more time with their clients than medical doctors, not only supporting them and addressing their needs through childbirth, but remaining available after birth to assist with the transition to new parenthood.

​​As a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and Advanced Practice Nurse (APRN-FPA), Debbie Boucher practices home birth midwifery in Lake Barrington, Illinois. The home birth coverage area includes northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin.

​Midwives don't just deliver babies.
​We help people have more natural childbirth experiences. ​

Our years of experience,

​your birth experience

Childbirth the Way Nature Intended was founded by Debbie Boucher after realizing that there were no licensed midwives in Lake County, and very few home birth options, at which point she returned to school to receive her CNM.
