When an acupuncturist and a midwife get together, cool things happen.

Sean is an acupuncturist. Amy is a midwife. They are both former wildlife ecologists & conservation biologists. One day they had an idea. Why not merge the wisdom of traditional medical knowledge and ecology into an online school to help people heal?

So they did. And Rewilding Medicine was born.

Amy Seidewand, LM, CPM

Midwife & Co-Founder of Rewilding Medicine

Amy’s passion for maternal and infant health began in 2007 after the birth of her first daughter. She started working in the birth community as a childbirth educator, lactation counselor, prenatal yoga teacher, and birth doula. Later, Amy graduated from the prestigious Bastyr University with a Master’s of Science in Midwifery. While at Bastyr University, she specialized in botanical medicine for midwifery care and her Master’s thesis focused on the topic of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Amy also holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Biology, specializing in wildlife research and conservation.

Amy is dedicated to the field of midwifery and brings with her a rich educational background and diverse set of work and life experiences. She has a strong interest in botanical medicine, maternal health research, lactation support, VBAC education, and postpartum wellness. Amy is also a passionate advocate for expanding rural midwifery services and increasing access to midwifery care on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas in WA state.

Amy is a mother of four and lives in the rural farming community of Chimacum, WA. When not practicing midwifery, Amy enjoys hiking in the mountains, cooking and fermenting, gardening, and spending time with her family and very large dog.
