Aperion Care

HistoryDebbie Boucher APRN-FPA, CNM is a certified nurse-midwife licensed in Illinois and Wisconsin. She started providing labor support in 1994 as a doula and a childbirth educator (Bradley Method). After several years she realized that there were no licensed midwives in Lake County, and very few home birth options, so she decided to go back to school to become a CNM. After completing an undergraduate nursing degree in 2005 at Loyola University Chicago, she became a licensed RN that same year and started attending home births, working under the supervision of two MD practices and two CNMs. She completed a master's degree in nursing in 2008 at University of Illinois at Chicago which enabled her to become a certified nurse midwife (CNM) and receive a license to practice. At that point she started her midwifery private practice, in July 2008.SpecialtiesChildbirth the Way Nature Intended is a full-scope midwifery practice providing licensed prenatal care, home birth, natural family planning, and holistic well-woman care.
