    Christa says, “I am the proud mother of four amazing children. I have wanted to be a midwife for almost my whole life. I was born in Austria, Europe. I gave birth to three of my children at home, with wonderful midwives caring for me. I believe that women should play an active role in their health care, pregnancy care and birth. I want to create an environment and a relationship where a woman feels supported and comforted based on trust and mutual respect. I believe in personal contact and open communication.”

    ” Midwife means “with women”, supporting women through their lifetime.”

    Paula Matthew had a personal experience assisting a neighbor give birth as a young woman that compelled her to become a Midwife. Paula described her education and experience, “I began my studies in 1978 and attended the Arizona School of Midwifery in Tucson. In 1981 I took the three part exam, passed and began my practice in Northern Arziona immediately. Since then I have had the tremendous honor of supporting many women and their families in this incredible rite of passage.

    “I am a member of the Midwives Alliance of North America and the Arizona Association of Midwives. I have been a childbirth educator for many years and a La Leche League Leader. I have also served on the advisory committee to the Midwife Licensing Department and served two terms on my local School Board.”

    Regular hours at La Luna Birth and Womens Center will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 12 noon to 3:00pm with a Free Womens Health !2 Clinic on Mondays 3pm – 6pm (fees for lab work may apply). For more information check out the birth centers website: lalunabirthcenter.com.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
