Midwives

Karin L. Pugh, LM
​Licensed Midwife/Owner

Karin is the mother of three adult children and a proud grandmother.  She has been happily married to her husband David for over 40 years.  Several years ago, her heart became burdened with the desire to participate in the birthing community. She began her work with mothers and babies by serving as a doula.  Karin soon recognized that her true calling was to become a midwife.  She reached that goal in 2007.  ​She began practicing as a home-birth midwife shortly after receiving her license.  Karin quickly recognized that in order for her to touch the hearts and lives of more young women, she would need to modify her home birth practice to include a birthing center.  Despite many adversities and challenges, Karin successfully launched Loving Arms Birth and Wellness Center in January of 2015.
