OUR MIDWIVES
Midwifery is more than a job. It is a journey with women. It is our soul’s work. Our passion. The midwives of Willowsong Midwifery and Healing Passages Birth & Wellness Center are dedicated to promoting, teaching and lifelong learning about physiological BIRTH, as it was meant to be; bringing newborns into the world with gentle hands and attachment; caring for women through all of life’s many transitions; and creating deeper connections between women and families — all with the greater purpose of strengthening the communities in which we live and our ability to support one another.
