Carol Leonard, Internationally Acclaimed Midwife
Since graduating from New England College in 1977, Carol Leonard learned the skills of the midwife from one of New Hampshire’s traditional country doctors. Since then she has not only delivered nearly 1,200 babies successfully, but has revived the practice of midwifery in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Russia.
Her memoir of almost 30 years of practice, Lady’s Hands, Lion’s Heart, A Midwife’s Saga, was recently released by Bad Beaver Publishing.
Recognized as a leader of the modern midwifery movement, Leonard is a New Hampshire Certified Midwife and the co-founder of the Midwives Alliance of North America. She has been featured on ABC’s news magazine 20/20, and her new book was given the first annual Mothers Naturally outstanding book award.
