Hi my name is Mary Kate Thompson, owner of Wild Rose Midwifery. I look forward to getting to know each of you.

The idea of birthing at home has always seemed normal to me. I grew up in Wheaton, Illinois and was raised very holistically. I was homeschooled most of my life, while still in high school a friend mentioned midwifery to me as something I should look into. I was enthralled by it. I researched schools and laws and in time also came to realize the great need for midwives. I was also raised hearing my grandmother tell stories about her mother, a midwife, in Kentucky and how she would ride her horse over all the hills to each birth she attended. I have always loved little babies and been fascinated by pregnancy and what a beautiful process it is. By senior year in high school I had decided to attend Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. I spent hours watching birth videos and dreaming about the day I could deliver babies. I spent a gap year after high school taking culinary classes and nannying.

I started college in 2015 and spent 2016 interning at an out-of-hospital birth center in Wisconsin and then chose to transition to home birth. I moved to Utah to work with a home birth midwife. In order to gain more experience at a very busy, high demand practice I decided to move to Pennsylvania halfway through 2017 to complete my apprenticeship.

I graduated in 2018 and sat for the NARM exam later that year. I chose to move to Denver so that I could live near the mountains (a dream) as well as have a quick plane ride home for occasional trips. After practicing in Denver for 3 years, I’ve decided to move north to Loveland and am excited to start serving mothers in Loveland and surrounding areas! In August of 2022 I gave birth to my daughter.

In my free time I love being outdoors; hiking, kayaking, camping and swimming. I love finding quaint coffee shops. I enjoy cooking, reading and dancing. When I fly home to Wheaton I love spending time with my family and friends.

I believe in the natural process of birth and hope I can assist you in your journey.

I look forward to meeting you,

Mary Kate CPM, RM
