Cassandra Barker, CPM, CDEM

Lacey is a mom of 4 children, all born naturally in the hospital, a birth center, and the last 2 at home. She and her husband reside in Avon and are actively looking for land to build their dream homestead. Her desire to work in birth started as a child, being fascinated by the births of her farm animals, and was confirmed when she attended her first human homebirth at just 15 years old. Lacey has been serving women in childbirth for over 23 years now, starting as a doula, progressing to a homebirth birth assistant, and eventually pursuing midwifery and graduating with a degree in the Science of Midwifery from Southwest Wisconsin Technical College in December 2025. She is a childbirth and birth assistant educator with a love for teaching.

Calm and supportive in nature, Lacey prides herself on helping mothers follow their intuition while listening to their bodies during the birthing process. She follows her roots in traditional midwifery to create a safe environment where mothers can let their births unfold as naturally and intervention-free as possible. She believes that pregnancy and childbirth are natural life occurrences during which our ancestral wisdom guides us through the divinely designed processes. Lacey firmly believes that the way women and babies are cared for during the childbearing year leaves a lasting impact on the generations that follow. Her own practice, Yarrow Moon Midwifery, is the culmination of heart work and tangible knowledge that Lacey has been building over the past two decades to help women and their families feel empowered and safe in their birth choices. She enjoys working on a team with calm and capable members whose philosophies surrounding birth keep the safety and autonomy of the mother (and baby) at the forefront of their care. She and Cassandra have worked together since late 2021 and enjoy each other quite a lot, probably a little too much.
