Serving Women With Peace & Purpose
Welcome to Serenity Midwives
I am so happy you are here! My name is Amie Storm I have a small private practice here in north Idaho.
Midwifery care is more than just checking vitals, fetal heart tones and catching a baby. It’s about personalized care, relaxed visits, talking about nutrition and of course, how your baby is doing, just to name a few things! Midwifery care can have such a positive impact on a mother, her baby and her family.
Here at Serenity Midwives you are not just another number on a chart or date on the calendar. I offer individualized, experienced and compassion driven care. I want to give women of low risk pregnancies the choice of an out of hospital birth. To provide you with options in decision making and to care for you and your baby in a safe, informative way. It is so important for me to provide you with excellent care throughout your pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.

A Sweet Birth Story (grab some tissues!)
“THIS CALLING WE HAVE AS MIDWIVES IS TIME WELL SPENT EMPOWERING WOMEN TO GIVE BIRTH IN THE WAY THEY CHOOSE. THIS IS THEIR STORY, NOT OURS”
Amie Storm LM, CPM
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Psalms 139: 13-16
What Families Are Saying…
-
Katie Delahooke- Mom of 7
“I highly recommend Amie to be YOUR midwife!! She is so professional in her medical skill and judgment, she is trustworthy and reliable, and she is also so sweet, kind, compassionate and funny!! She provides such excellent care during labor and delivery -- her knowledge, experience, and genuine care for both mom and baby really set her apart as a midwife, and she will be with you every step of the way. Also, the prenatal and postnatal care you will receive from her is unparalleled in comparison to a hospital setting or otherwise. She means so much to my family and is a true friend in addition to being our midwife in helping us welcome our precious babies these past few years!!!”

Kealy Huber- Mom of 4
“We are so thankful that a friend recommended us to call Amie! She is a spectacular midwife and made our first out of hospital birth so special. I always felt comfortable and safe in her care. All of the appointments were thorough and it felt like hanging out with a friend. I will recommend any mamas to call her!”

Amanda Gambrino- Mom of 5
“Amie is an absolutely awesome midwife! One of my favorite things about her is that she feels like a friend I've known for a long time. Easy to talk to and and comfortable and yet really knowledgeable and a wonderful midwife. I've had 2 out of my 4 babies with her and have nothing but good things to say!”

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Amie! As first time parents walking through our first pregnancy, we knew we wanted to have as natural a birth experience as possible while still making all the best decisions for the health of myself and our baby. Amie not only took excellent care of us and provided great education, but she made us feel like family. She made us feel listened to, so comfortable, and always answered our endless questions with thoughtfulness and care. She was calming, reassuring, funny- and most importantly, empowering. She gave us all the tools we needed to learn and prepare ourselves for what was to come. When our son finally arrived, we had an amazing home birth! I felt like I was able to experience birth the way it was intended- peaceful in our own environment, listening to and trusting my body, and surrounded by women full of wisdom that have helped countless mothers bring their babies into the world before me. It was beautiful and surreal.
Almost more impressive was our aftercare. A few hours after birth we noticed our son having some breathing struggles- Amie rushed back over at a moment’s notice. We will be forever grateful for her quick actions and steady demeanor in those important moments while he was transferred to the NICU. Amie went above and beyond with support and encouragement in some of the scariest couple weeks of our lives. She was there for us at all hours, listened to every question and exhausted rambling, and empowered us to make the best decisions for our little family even when we were uncertain. Our doctors were very clear that nothing we or Amie could have done would have prevented our son’s experience, and while no one hopes to end up in the NICU, I am so thankful that we had Amie to walk through all of that with us! We would have been lost without her, and I still get choked up thinking about how loved and supported she made us feel through everything. Our son is healthy and thriving, and all of our post-care with Amie after being released from the NICU was amazing as well. Whenever baby #2 comes along...Amie is going to be our first phone call after the grandparents.” -
Rochelle Bodie- Mom of 2
“Amie is such an incredible midwife. She was so respectful and supportive of our decisions for our birth experience and for baby, all while making sure to be informative and taking the very best care of us along the way. She is incredibly knowledgeable in what she does and I felt completely at ease and confident under her care and guidance. We feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful home birth experience because of her! The world needs more amazing midwives like her.”

Brianna Pearlstein- Mom of 2
“Amie was my midwife for both my daughters and I couldn’t ask for someone better as a friend and midwife. She is comforting and empowering. She is intelligent and capable. She is REAL and you can feel completely comfortable and taken care of throughout the pregnancy and birth journey. I have had two completely opposite births with my girls and Amie was there through it all. She helped me to have confidence in my body and my baby through the process and I would have more babies JUST to spend more time with her. Thank you Amie! We love you.”
