"My care is based on the midwifery model. I strive to listen to and empower women in their health. I believe in educating women and their families, and shared decision making in their care. It is important that I provide options such as waterbirth and nitrous to women. "
Halley Everall, MSN, CNM, C-EFM
Midwife
"I believe that a life-long partnership with women through the midwifery model of care leads to healthier families and communities. My goal is to develop a respectful relationship built on trust with all women in my care. I find myself constantly inspired by the individualized strength and power of women in every birth."
Kelly Devine Arch, CNM
Midwife
"I am passionate about supporting health and healing through providing a supportive birth experience, personal connection, shared decision-making, open communication, empowerment, and evidence-based care. I believe in gentle support and quiet listening, guidance when needed and the innate belief that human bodies have their own wisdom. I believe it is a privilege and an honor to serve my community in such a nurturing way."
Jessica Howard, CNM, MSN, MSW, IBCLC
Midwife
"Empowering and educating women so that they are well-informed in making their own lifetime healthcare decisions is the guiding principle that I practice by, and the honor and privilege of being present for a woman's journey through childbirth is a beauty of this profession that I'll never take for granted."
