In Loving Memory of Karen Kamyszek, CTM
Karen served women as a community centered Traditional Midwife for over 30 years.
She was a
an academic director for Michigan School of Traditional and a tireless home birth activist.
Midwifery was her passion, family was her
motivation, women and birth were her joy and inspiration.
She was dearly loved and is sadly
missed by all who knew her.

“The women who share these stories are more than midwives—they are visionaries,
revolutionaries, healers and heroes. This book is for anyone, like myself, who lives in awe of
midwives, and if that does not include you, be prepared to be converted.”
