Meet Sue Potts, CNM, Founder & Lead Midwife
Sue Potts
Certified Nurse Midwife
Hi, I’m Sue Potts, founder of Wholehearted Midwifery and lead midwife. I’m so grateful you’re here.
At Wholehearted Midwifery, my philosophy is simple:
Birth works. Women are strong. And you deserve care that honors both.
I believe pregnancy and birth are sacred seasons; times when women deserve to feel safe, supported, and deeply valued. My role is to walk with you through this transformative journey with steady hands, a calm presence, and wholehearted belief in your ability to give birth with strength and confidence.
I bring over 25 years of experience as a registered nurse, but some of my most meaningful learning came from my own four homebirths. I know firsthand the choices, emotions, excitement, and vulnerability that come with bringing a baby into the world.
Those experiences taught me to care for women with gentleness, respect, and an unwavering commitment to honoring your autonomy at every step.
Now that my children are grown, I’m in a season of life that gives me the freedom and availability to be truly present with the families I serve.
Practicing midwifery wholeheartedly has been a long-held dream, and I bring that gratitude with me into every home and every appointment.
Care That Centers Your Story
Whether we’re listening to your baby’s heartbeat during prenatal care, preparing for the moment you’ll meet your baby on your birth day, or sharing a quiet conversation in the postpartum weeks, my hope is that you always feel valued, nurtured, empowered, safe and seen.
You are not just receiving clinical care—you are entering a space where your story matters, your choices matter, and your intuition is honored.
Holistic, Evidence-Based, Heart-Centered
While my care is deeply relational, it is also grounded in evidence-based midwifery, collaboration, and access to trusted specialists when needed.
Families may receive referrals to: maternal fetal medicine, lactation consultants, chiropractors, pelvic floor therapists, and pediatric dentists.
This ensures you and your baby are supported in every way, with a circle of care extending beyond a single provider.
Serving Women in Every Season
Whether you are preparing for pregnancy, newly expecting, planning a homebirth, growing your family again, or healing and adjusting postpartum, you are welcome here.
And you will be supported here.
A Sacred Privilege
It is an honor to be invited into your family’s story during such a meaningful time. Thank you for considering me to walk this journey with you. I would be honored to support you with compassion, wisdom, and a wholehearted belief in the beauty of your birth.
If you feel aligned with this kind of care, I would love to meet you.
A gentle space to ask questions, connect, and explore whether this is the right fit for you.
