Amy Tinney CPM, LM, RN
Amy Tinney is a Registered Nurse, Licensed Midwife, and a Certified Professional Midwife and mother of one amazing son.

She received her midwifery license from the California Medical Board in 2009. She has worked as a registered nurse in clinics, hospital settings, and home health environments and has extensive experience caring for women and babies since 1990.

Amy has worked in high and low risk settings. During her work as a nurse, she was in attendance at over 2000 births, both in and out of the hospital. In hospital settings she advocates for patient rights and has developed a collegial style with physicians to give women the best chance to have the birth that they desire. In "out of hospital" birth settings she utilizes her skills and intuition to help guide her clients to follow their bodies' own unique ways to give birth in the most natural and empowering way.

Amy's experiences as a nurse in labor and delivery and other birth settings brought her to a place of comfort knowing normal and not normal circumstances in birth.

Amy followed her path to becoming a midwife, and after meeting her preceptors, she started her journey. Her midwifery apprenticeship took place over a period of two years in a busy home birth practice in Los Angeles, CA, and during that time she provided prenatal care, attended over 65 births and followed women through their postnatal period as a primary midwife under supervision. In addition, Amy teaches nursing students as a clinical instructor in obstetrics for Mt. St Marys College of Nursing in Los Angeles, creating a guideline for midwifery students who are in the direct entry program as well.

Amy completed her midwifery education and tested with The National Registry of Midwives (NARM) and The National Midwifery Institute's (NMI) Challenge process. Amy's extensive experience as a care provider for women combined with her love for the beauty & sacredness of birth make her a uniquely intuitive and confident care provider.
