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
