Ms.
Wolfrum spent her early adult years in Switzerland and worked in the hotel
business. Having her first son with a midwife in Switzerland introduced her to
her professional calling. As a Certified Nurse Midwife and a Certified
Lactation Consultant for 30 years, she has dedicated her professional life to
helping families have a happy and healthy start.
She was
a partner at the Los Angeles Childbirth Center, when they opened one of the
first out of hospital birth centers in 1984 and later in 1987, founded a
holistic family health and birth center called South Bay Family Care. In her
thriving midwifery practice she attended over 100 births each year.
After
moving to San Diego in 1993 she was asked by Palomar Pomerado Health Systems to
help develop a midwifery based peri-natal access program for women without
insurance. After that program was
running smoothly, she moved closer to home and as nurse midwife for North
County Health Services attended many births at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas. While at NCHS she developed a special program
for mothers with gestational diabetes.
She retired in 2005, to build a beach house in Mexico. After completing that project, she returned
to work at Scripps, as a lactation consultant.
For 30 years she has taught childbirth and parenting classes and for the
last 10 years a sexual education course called Our Whole Lives for middle and
high school students at the Unitarian Fellowship.
