Description
About Daniela Zehr-Butler As a little girl growing up in Bolivia, Daniela Zehr-Butler, CNM, remembers playing nurse and putting Band-Aids on her young siblings. Her first exposure to a very sick infant who then later died, showed her first-hand the frailty of life. “From that point on, I learned the importance of education and vowed I would do my best to be an advocate for health in my community, ” she says. Daniela earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Goshen College, Goshen, IN. Her Master of Science in Nursing is from Frontier Nursing University, Versailles, KY. A Certified Nurse-Midwife, Daniela supports pregnant women and their families throughout their pregnancy and birth experience. She also provides well-woman care, preconception care, contraception counseling, perimenopausal hormone therapy, and other basic primary care. She is fluent in Spanish. “I was first inspired to become a nurse-midwife during prenatal care with my first child. I was in nursing school at the time and had never heard of a midwife, ” she says. “I hope to be a light in a complicated healthcare system, and may it be evident I work with compassion, grace, and a love for helping people live their healthiest life.” In her own words… Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? The foundation of every skill I have came from my mother; except for patience – that is thanks to my father! What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? My first job was managing the stand at a U-pick peach orchard in southern Kansas. I loved riding my bike to the orchard and picking delicious peaches for customers. I know a lot about peaches! What is your favorite food? Movie? I love all things grilled! Anything cooked over a firepit and s'mores for a great ending. When it comes to movies, I need a balance of action/detective movies and rom-coms. What was your best/worst subjects in school? Best: biology Worst: chemistry and history If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My Abuelo (maternal grandfather) who died prematurely of a heart attack before I was born. I would have loved to sing with him and have him teach me guitar. In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? I love to dance, especially while cooking in my kitchen! I enjoy being creative and crafting in all manners! I embroider, crochet, knit and sew... although my favorite thing is being a wife, and a mother to my three children! What is something most people don’t know about you? I hate bananas!
