Are you ready for a pregnancy and birth experience completely personalized to your needs and wants? 
Where you get to make the decisions that are best for you and your family? That is family-friendly and woman-centered? Where you get to welcome your new baby in the comfort and safety of your own home? If this is the type of care you desire, Carissa is here for you.

As a licensed midwife and owner of Huckleberry Baby Birth Services, Carissa’s priority is to provide top-quality, evidence-based midwifery care that focuses on education, personal choice and relationship. Working with Carissa helps women feel empowered, supported and safe during their pregnancy and helps them have the birth experience they’ve always dreamed of.

Carissa was first drawn to midwifery after traveling in Central America for several winters with her husband and seeing the global need for medical care. Now that she’s been elbows deep in this work for nearly 3 years she can’t imagine women in McCall not having access to this service. She feels the Midwifery Model of Care is like nothing you’ve ever experienced and once you get a taste you’ll never want to go back to anything else. Her credentials and experience include a midwifery degree from the National College of Midwifery, Certified Professional Midwifery credential from the National Association of Registered Midwives, Idaho state midwifery license as well as years of internships at birth centers in the Boise area.

When she's not caring for her amazing clients, Carissa can be found with a cup of herbal tea in her hands homeschooling her two daughters, soaking in the great Idaho outdoors or making music with her violin or guitar.

Rissa is wise beyond her years. She's so calm and brings a very peaceful and reassuring presence to the birth.
I wish I had had her for all my previous babies!
