Brandi Graham-Wood CPM, CDEM Indiana licensed home birth midwife and wonderful team including a collaborative physician and assistants dedicated to helping you achieve a safe healthy Central Indiana Homebirth. Brandi provides empowering, respectful, personal and evidenced based care. I am the mother to three amazing humans and 3 wonderful daughter-in-laws. My oldest son was born in the hospital with a Midwife. Our next two babies were born at home with a Certified Professional Midwife (Alex in the water and Aiden on land). Home birth was life-changing for our family. I embraced natural birth, breastfeeding, babywearing, and parenting. In 1995, I became certified as a Childbirth Educator and Doula. For four years, I worked at the Madison County WIC (Women Infants and Children’s Program) as a lactation counselor. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Science of Midwifery and am both a Certified Professional Midwife and a Certified Direct Entry Midwife through the state of Indiana. I began Home4Birth Midwifery Services in 2001. Since 1997 I have maintained membership in the Indiana Midwives Association. I hold my NARM Bridge certificate, am a certified lactation specialist, and a Certified Community Herbalist. For further information regarding my training/experience click here.

As a Traditional Homebirth Companion, I bring the tradition of the wise woman to your birth. For more years than we can count or recollect, this was the way women brought their babies into the world - at home, surrounded by women who knew birth, knew physiology and knew how to support it. Women who knew time-honored skills, traditions, plants and nutrition. Before regulation, laws and governments got in the way, women were birthing safely, on their own terms. Taught and mentored by elders who are bringing back these traditions and skills, I’ve stepped into this work to provide more options and possibilities in my community, so that babies are born safely into their parents’ arms, and so that women are treated with dignity and respect.

I am a birth doula, with dona certified training (February, 2023). I seek to support all mothers in whatever decision they find is best for themselves and their baby. Hospitals, birth centers, or at home, with whatever medical assistance, or naturally and without intervention, as long they feel educated and confident in their decision. I will be there to ensure that you are adjusting physically, as well as mentally and emotionally for this journey. I have a background in art and dance, which are some of my greatest loves, and would be honored to share with you at this time. Which I believe is a profound opportunity for release, expression and creativity

Nice to meet you! I’m Alyssa. I’m a boy mama x 2. After having two very different birth experiences, I’m passionate about supporting and educating parents leading up to birth and beyond. With a long induction + c-section birth and also a non-medicated VBAC under my belt, I feel well equipped to support all moms. I love to integrate a holistic approach to birth work, but I also appreciate modern medicine when truly needed. Every mom has their wants and needs when envisioning the birth that they desire, and I love helping them get from where they are to where they want to be. I value breastfeeding and postpartum wellness as well and love to help moms troubleshoot or problem solve when needed. The saying “it takes a village” holds a special place with me as I often feel pulled to be that village for fellow mamas. I strive to make other moms feel appreciated, supported, informed, and confident in their God-given abilities! I live in the Indianapolis area with my husband + our two boys. I love mom hangs, adventuring with my fam, being my kids biggest cheerleader + checking out new local food and coffee spots with my husband.
