Now that the holidays are coming to a close I have asked all the staff members to please send me updated pictures and bios. As soon as I receive this information, I'll get it posted.

Thank you for your patience as we make these adjustments to staffing.

Linda's favorite quote:

You do what you are.

She does what she is.

Linda Johnson, CNM

Linda is the owner of Mother's Own Birth and Women's Center. She has worked with expectant and new families for more than 20 years. She began working as a childbirth educator in 1980, after the birth of her first child. In 1995 she became a certified  lactation consultant, and graduated as a midwife from Frontier Nursing Services' CNEP program in 1997.

Although three of her children were born in hospitals, her fourth was born at home. It was after this birth that she explored  apprenticing with a homebirth midwife.  However, she also saw a need for a freestanding birth center in the area and decided to pursue her CNM with the goal of opening a birth center after graduation.

She has worked toward opening a freestanding birth center in the Toledo area since 1993. Mother's Own Birth and Women's Center became a reality in November 2001 and moved to its present location in May 2003.

In addition to being a lactation consultant and a midwife, Linda is also a AAP Neonatal Resucitation Instructor.
