Bio

Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Peggy's journey to midwifery began at a young age when she whispered to her mother, "I'm going to be a midwife when I grow up" upon her younger sister's birth. After initially pursuing a different path, her calling was reignited when she became a mother herself.

Peggy's formal midwifery education started in 2007, following an apprenticeship in a renowned Berlin hospital's labor and delivery room. She holds a midwifery diploma from 2011 and is a firm advocate for informed consent throughout the birthing process.

In 2015, Peggy made a significant move to California, leaving behind her German midwifery license but embracing a new chapter in her journey. She gave birth to her fourth child in 2018, a cherished experience supported by local midwives.

Peggy's extensive credentials include being a certified CAPPA birth doula, DONA trained postpartum doula, certified Lamaze childbirth educator,  a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, and a licensed Midwife in Washington State and California.

Peggy's passion for midwifery and her commitment to maternal and child well-being drive her work, and she is dedicated to serving the Southern California community. Her story is one of resilience, passion, and a deep love for her chosen path. She lives in Carlsbad together with her 4 children and her husband.

  • "I often compare Peggy to a guardian angel looking out for us. We found her after a major move to a new city where we had no family and few friends. From my first phone call with her, I knew Peggy was someone special. She was open, curious, and funny. We hired her immediately, and over the remaining course of my pregnancy and post-natal care of my son, she was a constant, caring, calming, and deeply knowledgeable presence. I had the feeling that I could call her at any time about anything, and she'd be there for me. Her weekly home visits once Becket was born were a godsend, a time where she checked up on him and on me. Peggy is a gifted doula and midwife, with a light touch and a big heart. We feel forever bonded to her for helping bring our son safely into the world. We love you Peggy!"

  • "Peggy Vetter was the best midwife imaginable! It was our first baby and we didn’t know anything about the delivery process, nursing, diaper-changing, or caring for an infant. But because Peggy was there supporting us, I was able to leave the hospital mere hours after giving birth. She made herself completely available to us, day and night, both before and after our son's birth. Our meetings were not just check-ins regarding my pregnancy or the baby; it was like having an old friend over for coffee. Peggy is intuitive, reliable, compassionate, and relaxed, which was exactly what we needed. She was always willing to listen and give advice, validating our concerns, without dismissing them (or us). We felt so secure with her years of experience and are so grateful for her support. We genuinely feel that Peggy does this not just as a job, but because it gives her a true sense of fulfillment. Midwifery simply runs in her blood! Thank you Peggy!"
