Midwives that Accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) in New York

Greetings! I am Edine, a certified and licensed midwife, lactation consultant, and Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner. My midwifery philosophy emphasizes respect for the natural process of birth and the dignity of the mother and child, viewing pregnancy and birth as normal life events. My goal is to play a vital role in providing care for families in need, particularly in underserved areas where access to holistic care is limited. I respect and welcome healthcare rooted in traditional practices, beliefs, and values passed down through generations.

🌟 Hello! I’m JJ Monro, a passionate midwife in the Lower East Side of NYC, working with the amazing Grace Ferguson-Pel, CNM, at Mount Sinai's Delancey Street Midwives. We provide holistic, trauma-informed care for all your reproductive health needs, whether you're pregnant or not. From wellness visits to pregnancy, abortion, postpartum, and menopause care, we’re here for you. With birthing privileges at Mount Sinai Hospital, we collaborate with exceptional OBGYNs—Dr. Jenny Tang, Dr. Bruno Caridi, and Dr. Francesco Callipari—for seamless, top-quality care. I especially love caring for younger folks and those needing trauma-informed support. We accept most insurance, but not Medicaid. Come join our welcoming, supportive practice! 💖

Safiya is a devoted mother of five, a proud grandmother, and a wise woman whose journey is rooted in love, service, and sacred purpose. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, she brings both clinical excellence and ancestral wisdom to every soul she touches. Her path began in the Neonatal ICU, where she nurtured the most delicate lives with skilled, tender hands. In 2009, she birthed her holistic healing practice, offering care that speaks to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. In 2015, the NYC Department of Health recognized her commitment to maternal health and entrusted her to design and implement a transformational wellness program for women at high risk for maternal and infant mortality — work that continues to ripple through communities, saving lives and restoring dignity. Now a licensed Nurse-Midwife, Safiya answered the deeper spiritual call to reclaim birth as a sacred rite. She empowers women to give birth on their own terms and is committed to providing safe passage. Safiya holds space not just as a healthcare provider, but as an elder, a teacher, and a vessel for divine feminine energy. Her work is more than care — it’s ceremony, it’s legacy, and it’s love
