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 Early Pregnancy classes with an activist group trying to change birth practices in Casper, Wyoming. (For example: getting Dads into the birth rooms, eliminating routine procedures like episiotomies and perineal preps) 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 get her RN license and has worked in a busy Labor & Delivery unit for the past five years. She loves being with birthing families and has received many accolades for her "calm, encouraging presence." In June of 2007 she completed her long held dream of becoming a midwife, graduating from Oregon Health and Science University.
Janell has traveled to Central America with Northwest 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 over 20 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.
