Camille Friason, RM, CPM

I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Registered Midwife (RM) offering midwifery services, including home birth, in the state of Colorado. My CPR and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) certifications are current at all times.

I was first exposed to the world of birthing at the age of 9 when I attended the birth of my younger brother. Witnessing my mother's strength and my brother's transition from the womb to the world ignited a passion for becoming involved in birth work. Twenty years later, I embarked on my midwifery journey, driven by a commitment to support, educate, and empower women and their families to achieve the pregnancy and birth experience they desire.

I pursued my didactic studies at Bastyr University and completed two rotations over 2.5 years at birth centers in Seattle, WA, and Boise, ID. In Seattle, I had the opportunity to work with an ND/LM at Sprout Birth Center, where I learned about pre-conception care, well baby care up to 24 months, and assisted with tongue tie revisions. The majority of my hands-on training took place at Treasure Valley Midwives in Boise, a high-volume group practice of LMs and CNMs providing home birth and birth center options. I was able to learn full spectrum care and lead Centering Pregnancy, group prenatal care.

In 2021, I passed the NARM, officially becoming a Certified Professional Midwife and a Licensed Midwife in Idaho. I completed a 6-month fellowship at TVM, gaining invaluable experience in managing birth emergencies and serving as a preceptor for student midwives. Eager to return to the essence of midwifery and focus on nurturing relationships with families, I relocated to the Front Range. As a Registered Midwife in Colorado, I have had the honor of providing midwifery services to families in their homes and at the Northern Colorado Birth Center for the past several years.

I believe birth is just one part of the beautiful journey to parenthood. Ensuring that the birthing person feels safe, respected, and cared for can create a lasting impact that shapes the future of that child and family. I am passionate about autonomy, family-centered care, and making midwifery care accessible to Black and Indigenous families of color.
