In her time away from work, Amber enjoys spending time with her husband and three boys, being outdoors, and hosting game nights (mostly virtual these days). ”My approach to midwifery focuses on empowering my patients and placing them at the center in making their own health-care decisions. I believe that listening to my patients, answering their questions, making them feel safe, forming trusted relationships, and providing compassionate care is equally as important as the physical care we provide.”- Amber Latsch, CNM
