Yeshi Neumann, CNM has been working as a midwife since 1970. She attended births at home for the first 10 years. In 1980 she became a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) in order to also assist childbearing families in the hospital. Out of her desire to provide unhurried, soul-satisfying, personalized care, she created Homestyle Midwifery, a unique model blending home and hospital birth. Homestyle Midwifery, was voted “Best Way to Have a Baby” by San Francisco Magazine in 2007. In addition to her work in the United States, Yeshi has taught and learned from midwives in Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Trinidad, Tibet, Morocco, India, and China.

Yeshi has facilitated hundreds of workshops about communication, women’s leadership, diversity, conflict resolution and organizational development. She brings her passion for women’s empowerment and social justice to her work with mothers and grandmothers. As a midwife and group facilitator Yeshi incorporates her extensive study of meditation, healing, hypnotherapy and bodywork. 

As well as being a CNM, Yeshi has a Masters Degree in History from Columbia University and a Masters in Public Health from the University of California. She is a regularly invited speaker at national and international conferences. Yeshi is a mother of two daughters. She received her two granddaughters in her hands as they were born.
