Janell Niemann-Ross
Janell Niemann-Ross, RN, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM)
Janell got hooked on midwifery in the mid 80's, when she taught pregnancy
classes with an activist group trying to change birth practices in Casper,
Wyoming (ie: getting dads into the birth rooms, eliminating routine
procedures like episiotomies, ) She had midwives for the births of her
children and was primarily a stay-at-home Mom when they were young.
Once they were old enough to make their own lunches, she jumped at the
chance to realize her long held dream of becoming a midwife. After
completing her RN degree, she worked in a busy labor & delivery unit for
five years while working on her Nurse Practitioner/ Certified Nurse Midwife
degree. She graduated in June 2007 from Oregon Health and Science
University. She loves being with birthing families and has received many
accolades for her "calm, encouraging presence."
Janell has traveled to Central America with Medical Teams International
providing women's health care and instructing health care promoters. She
speaks some Spanish and her family has hosted fifteen international
students.
Prior to nursing and midwifery, Janell used her Child Development and Family
Life degree teaching preschool and parent education in a variety of
settings.
Janell has been married to a very funny guy for 25 years and they have two
young-adult sons. Her hobbies include cooking scrumptious food, flitting
from one art project to another, bicycling, reading and preparing for an
empty nest.
