Emme Corbeil, CPM, LM
Certified Professional Midwife, Licensed Midwife (she/her)
I am a native of Toronto, Canada and have made Minneapolis my home for the past 28 years.
My passion for birth began 1991 when my first baby was born into the hands of a loving midwife. Birth was transformative and empowering, so much so, that despite being trained as a high-school teacher I knew I had found my calling.
Following that, I was asked to be with a friend through her long, hard VBAC. Witnessing the unbelievable power and strength of that woman served as a catalyst, and my dream of becoming a midwife was cemented.
After beginning my formal midwifery training in 2003, I earned my Certified Professional Midwife credential in 2008. I am licensed as a Traditional Midwife by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
Through my years of training and practice, I have had the privilege of working with many community midwives in Minnesota, the Philippines and at the Farm Midwifery Training Center in Tennessee.
I was thrilled to learn directly from Ina May Gaskin, Pamela Hunt and the rest of the Farm Midwives during my time at the Farm.
I am a trained Lactation Counselor, certified in Advanced Neonatal Life Support and Adult and Infant CPR (BLS), and have done advanced training and study with Spinning Babies, Integral Touch of Birth - Myofascial Therapy, Cranio Sacral Level I and BRAVA Core Health. I am an active member of the Minnesota Council of Certified Professional Midwives and currently serve on the MCCPM Board of Directors.
My husband Paul and I live in South Minneapolis with our cute but anxious pup. I love working with my hands - knitting, gardening, pottery and generally making beautiful things. I find great peace walking in nature, plunging into a cold lake, meditating in a hot sauna and sitting by the side of a birthing person. My three kids are grown and launched, and remain my greatest teachers.
