Jamie Shelley Midwife in Alexandria, MN
About Jamie
I'm Jamie Shelley, a Certified Nurse-Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant serving families in Alexandria, Minnesota and the surrounding central Minnesota region through Empowered Midwifery and Wellness, LLC. I grew up on a rural Minnesota farm and have been working in maternal-child health since 2006, with experience spanning labor and delivery, community birth, lactation consulting, postpartum care, nursing education, pregnancy resource center work, and breastfeeding support group leadership. I earned my Master's of Science in Nurse-Midwifery from Bethel University in 2024. I offer homebirth packages that include full prenatal and postpartum care, waterbirth, VBAC support, and breastfeeding support — whether you birthed with me or elsewhere and simply need additional lactation guidance along the way. I approach every client's care through a whole-person lens, believing that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health are all deeply connected. I'm a committed listener, and I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey. Beyond my clinical work, I co-founded The Birth Collective — a community organization dedicated to building connection around pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in central Minnesota. We host quarterly in-person gatherings in Alexandria, maintain an online community where families can ask questions and find support, and work to connect parents with trusted local birth workers, educators, and resources. I believe life is better lived in community, and The Birth Collective was born out of that conviction — because every family deserves a village. I live in Alexandria with my daughter and am honored to serve the community I call home.
