Talya is a midwife, herbalist, and doula with 18 years of experience in birthwork. She is a wife and mother of 6 and is the owner of an intentionally small midwifery practice. The belief that birth is a normal physiological event and that babies are wise and know how to be born guides her practice. Talya believes when the mother is nurtured in body, mind, and spirit we see the best maternal, family, and societal outcomes. When she’s not at the feet of women giving birth or creating herbal teas and tinctures, you can find Talya in the mountains with her family or with her bare hands and feet in a patch of dirt trying to grow things. Welcome to Matriarch Midwifery!

Hello! My name is Elise Monson, and I am a Birth Doula located in Lehi Utah. I serve in both Utah and Salt Lake Counties. I love all things birth. It's my mission to empower mothers through evidence based education so that they can make informed decisions for themselves, and then provide advocacy for them during birth to make sure their desires are respected. Childbirth is not a medical emergency, unless it becomes one. We as women were built for this!

Hi! I love helping moms find their inner strength and learn to trust their bodies! You know how to give, you just need to trust your body, I’m here to help you with that!

My name is Bailey Howell, and I am a certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, as well as a pre-certified Labor Doula! I recently graduated from Utah State with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and realized that I have a huge passion for strengthening family relationships and bringing more joy into the home. Birth brings a substantial change to a family and my goal is to bring more education and support to new parents in order to make the transition to parenthood easier. I am so excited to work with families in Cache Valley!

Hi, I'm Hunter! Im 25 years old and a fierce advocate serving Salt Lake and Utah County. In doing research to prepare myself for future pregnancy I was faced with the sad reality that many people have entered the birth space uninformed and unsupported, with so many voices shouting at them about the "one right way" to give birth and be a parent. Only to leave the birth space scared, in pain, and often traumatized. This reality felt bleak to me so I began my journey learning how to provide advocacy, alignment, and assurance to my clients. I believe everyone should have access to emotional, physical and spiritual support while diving into labor and finding their inner power during birth.

I am a proud boy mom to three wonderful boys who will someday change the world. I am an Army Medic and EMT. I love helping people, but felt called to develop my passion for birth work after my second child was born in the height of COVID during an amazing home birth. I have learned that there is so much to be honored in pregnancy, the birthing space, and the postpartum period, and I love being able to help families feel empowered and supported during those transitions.

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm a student midwife, BYU graduate with a degree in human development, and a nanny. I've worked for 10 families since moving to Utah.

As a doula my greatest desire is for you to have the birth you envisioned no matter what that looks like.

Hello! I am a Certified Birth Doula serving families in Salt Lake and Utah counties. I am passionate about helping moms and their partners have the AMAZING birth experiences they deserve. I have always thought that pregnancy and birth are the most incredible things in the world. While battling infertility the last few years, I found myself feeling a lack of purpose in my life. This led me to birth work and becoming a birth doula. From the fascinating training to the first birth I attended, I knew this was the purpose I was looking for. I became a Birth Boot Camp Certified Birth Doula in January 2024. I passionately believe that every mom can and deserves to have a positive birth experience, whatever that looks like to her. I look forward to helping you achieve that!

Meredith is a certified birth doula, postpartum doula, certified women’s hormone specialist, cycle + fertility coach, menstruation educator, and mother to three amazing kids, ages 7, 5 and 3. She loves everything about the menstrual cycle–hormones, menstruation, fertility, birth, postpartum, and menopause. She loves teaching women (and families) how to use their cycle to balance their lives (and their hormones) and accomplish their goals for growing their family, or not. But Birth has a special place in Meredith’s heart. She came to birth work on a Thursday afternoon driving home from her Human Resources job. She was complaining about her job to her sister and her sister’s response was, “you should go be a Doula”. What’s a Doula? After her sister explained what a Doula does, a voice inside of her said, “I was born to do that”. She was in Doula training the next month and she has never looked back. She loves being with families and witnessing their growth and transformation as they move through the birth and postpartum process. Meredith excels at supporting families through natural/unmedicated birth both in and out of the hospital, and a lot of her clients have great results from her support in delaying medication so that it supports their labor rather than hinders it. Meredith is passionate about families knowing their options, preparing well, and tapping into the spiritual nature of the birth process to create an empowering experience. Additionally, she excels at assisting families to set up healthy rhythms for maximized nighttime sleep, feeding and bonding postpartum.
