Deep Wells Midwifery Licensed midwife servicing Southcentral Minnesota and Northcentral Iowa. Welcome! I see clients at my office in Wells, MN.

I'm Nikki - a mama to five beautiful beings and a passionate advocate for women's wellness.

Fun fact: the Deep Wells Midwifery office has an airbnb above it. The ability to rent out this space is what made my move into this office a possibility! If you've ever been in or driving by the office and you've wondered what the second floor is like/what's behind the gray door outside, this is it!

One of the producers at KSMQ public broadcasting approached me last winter about doing a segment on homebirth in southeastern Minnesota as part of their show, Off 90. I quickly agreed, and while the interview process was fun and I knew they'd do a great job, I was not prepared for just how spectacular this segment would be.

They dedicated a full half-hour slot to interviewing myself and midwives from Wonderfully Made Midwifery and Rochester Community Midwives. They will also be doing another segment later on with interviews from moms who have had/were planning home births at the time of the interview.

I'm definitely going to watch it for a third time later this week. ❤️

Thank you to KSMQ, the team who did all the interviews and editing, and whoever greenlighted this beautiful piece in support of moms, babies, and midwifery.

On this episode of Off 90, we take a look at the growing practice o...

Due to a "family emergency" that has nothing to do with these gorgeous Zinnias and the fact that I got the first chunk of my garden tilled last night, I will be canceling my incredibly full day of appointments. 😉

Ok not really, but I can hardly wait to get some plants in the ground!

When you have a much growing space as I do, you can afford to plant stupid things just for the fun of it.

This is one of my bushel gourd plants. I can hardly wait for the results. The second photo is what I'm hoping to get. They'll dry and harden and turn brown like the third photo. Some people want cute storage baskets from Target. I want a storage gourd I grew myself. 😆

I say it every year: I love beans. They sprout with conviction. You check on them in the morning and there's nothing going on, then by the afternoon you've suddenly got a 3" tall plant. They're awesome.

This gourd, on the other hand, this is about day four in the sprouting process. It's painful. Like, just come on out or give up already! 😆
