Jennifer Winkler

Jen was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She attended Clemson University and graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2013. She moved back to south Louisiana and worked as a Registered Nurse (RN) in both a Cardio-thoracic Stepdown Unit and Labor & Delivery (L&D) Unit in New Orleans. She then completed her Master of Science in Nursing in 2018, specializing in Nurse-Midwifery, from Frontier Nursing University. While working on her master’s, Jen continued working as an L&D RN at both Roper St. Francis and the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Jen obtained her accreditation to practice through the American Midwifery Certification Board in 2018.

Jen has been practicing as a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) since 2019. She has experience in both active and expectant management of labor. Jen’s joy in her job as a CNM stems from the midwifery philosophy of being “with woman.” This includes caring for women through all aspects of life including pre-conception, prenatal care, labor/delivery, postpartum, and routine GYN/contraception management. Jen is very passionate about patient education and shared decision-making with her patients.

Jen and her fiancé Joe recently moved to Charleston. They are incredibly active and enjoy the beach, spending time with family, trying new restaurants, and cooking gourmet meals together at home. You can find them spoiling their dachshund Bacchus, named after the god of wine.
