She has a wide variety of experiences working in women’s health including coordinating health projects with women’s groups as a Peace Corps volunteer, working with a domestic violence shelter, providing healthcare in rural settings in West Africa and Latin America, and giving Reiki sessions to women with cancer. Katrina is excited to be in Albuquerque with her husband Peter who was a graduate student at UNM and who introduced her to the beauty of New Mexico.

Pat Heinz, CNM

Downtown Office

Pat grew up in the Midwest. The first time she came out west she knew she was home. She loves New Mexico for its unmistakable resonance and recognition in the wide open spaces, big sky, and silence that speaks directly to her heart. Pat loves to hike, float down rivers, read, write, garden, star gaze and sit in silence.

Undergraduate Degree: University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, BSN, 1989
 Graduate School: University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MS, 1996
 Certification: American College of Nurse Midwives 1996
 Special Interests: It is an honor to be present with women where ever they are at. This gift of being with women and their families brings great joy into my life for which I am grateful. I work with herbs and am currently working toward a certification in Cranio Sacral Therapy.

Rebecca Leeman, CNM

Jefferson Lane Office

Beginning her studies in cultural anthropology and health, Rebecca came to nursing and then midwifery with the goal of incorporating service to underserved areas both within and beyond the border. After midwifery school, she lived and worked in the Zuni-Navajo area for six years. Rebecca came to WSNM in 1999. With her husband she has three boys, Chai, Ari, and Eden. When at play, Rebecca might be found walking the North Valley trails, traveling farther to meet the ocean, or playing a variety of folk instruments. Her work as an instructor in teaching emergency skills in childbirth have taken her to Mexico, Latin America, and India.

 Special Interests: Rebecca enjoys a diverse practice of caring for women in the many stages of life with both preventing pregnancy and with prenatal care, attending childbirth, and ushering the changes of life in women. In the area of pregnancy and childbirth, she has a special interest in movement and positioning. In general women's health, she upholds the idea that every person has a different sense of well-being and that a health practitioner is a partner in guiding a person toward that state. The best of women's health care is helping women to know their bodies better and to be at ease in their lives.

Health Tips from WSNM

Because your body’s blood volume increases to support your growing baby, it is important that you drink extra fluids during your entire pregnancy. Your goal should be to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water, juice or milk each day.
