Meet The Midwife
My name is Jenny Zaner. I am a licensed Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) who serves Southeast Michigan. My story began in 2004 when I gave birth to our oldest son at home with the presence of a midwife. I was able to catch my own baby, peacefully with love in a birthing tub. The birth of my son was also the awakening of my new found passion... Birth!
I was filled with excitement, passion, and a desire to share all of the new information that I had learned.
A few short years later, my professional journey into birth work began. I became a Birth Doula who specialized in natural birth, taught private childbirth education classes, and started working my way through a 3.5 year home birth midwifery apprenticeship. During my career, I have trained and worked with many different midwives in Michigan. I am forever grateful for all of the midwives and clients who have all taught me so much along the way.
I believe and trust in birth as a normal physiological process in which both mother and baby are simultaneously working together. They are both sharing in the birthing experience. I believe that care during this intimate time in a family's life should be tailored to their individual specific desires and needs. I believe that every birth, regardless of location, should be a family centered birth. I look forward to working with you through your journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
Jenny sat on the Board of the Michigan Midwives Association from 2016 to 2019

The birth of a child is a moment every parent will remember for the rest of their life. I want my clients to feel supported, confident, and empowered during their journey into parenthood.
When I am not doula-ing, I am hanging out with my boyfriend, 5 dogs, friends and family. I love to travel and spend time being out in nature. I look forward to getting to know you and encouraging you on your amazing birth journey!
