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.

Hi, I'm Ashley Collie, a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). My journey to supporting families began in 2010 as a doula. I then completed midwifery training over the years, becoming licensed in 2018 when I first started practicing as a midwife. I believe deeply in the power of physiologic birth and the importance of compassionate, evidence-based care. In 2020, I was thrilled to open my first birth center, and since then, we've expanded to two locations. My commitment is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where you feel fully supported and empowered throughout your pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I look forward to meeting you!

With 16+ years experience and attendance of 800+ births in various roles and environments, I am well experienced in providing midwifery care during the entire childbearing cycle. In addition to working with 4,000+ families across the preconception, prenatal, postpartum and newborn periods, I have been honored to have experience in a variety of settings including four countries, five birth centers, and home births scattered in urban and rural settings. The fabric of these experiences has helped me develop a keen adeptness for working with a diverse range of clientele. Over the years, my focus and passion within midwifery has expanded to include many intersections across reproductive justice. I have specific interests in trauma informed care, mental wellbeing during the perinatal period, and research and education on minimizing obstetric trauma. I strongly adhere to the belief and practice that obstetric trauma is minimized when informed decision making and communication is utilized to ensure respectful care is being provided and client autonomy remains intact. I carry with me the deep rooted belief that birth is a sacred and transformative event that belongs to the birthing family and that it will usually progress the best when left as undisturbed as possible. I maintain high standards for myself and my affiliates to show up with open eyes, minds and hearts to support you in the unique way you desire as you welcome your newest family member into your arms.

I'm a midwife who found her calling after the births of her children. Truly a life changing experience it formed and shaped my practice and made me into the provider I am. Always learning and growing it's such a privilege to serve all families as they welcome the birth of a child. I homeschool my kids and love to read and raise ducks and geese on the side. Hiking and traveling with my kids is my other passion and as babies allow we travel the US and I get to share the beautiful country we live in with my kids via road trips and National Parks.

Hi! I'm Kim, your local midwife. The story of how I came to be here in Utah, serving women through pregnancy and birth is an interesting one. My education consists of a Bachelor of Art in Sociology with an Emphasis in Ethnic Studies, a Juris Doctorate with Emphasis in Criminal Law, and Certification as a Professional Midwife. My calling has always been to serve people in a humble, practical and pragmatic way. Creating positive change in people' s lives in the most efficient way possible. Over the years, this guiding principle has taken me on many adventures through different areas of life, different communities, and around the world. I grew up the child of two Air Force parents (Lawrence Hardeman and Cynthia Wright), traveling back and forth to Japan over my early years and around the US as I got older. During my settled years, I lived in Kansas City, Missouri. Unbeknownst to me, a distant ancestor of mine was one of the first to settle that area before Missouri was even a state. Peter Hardeman Burnett, a lawyer who defended Joseph Smith while detained in the Liberty Jail, adventurer who led 1000 pioneers on the Oregon Trail, and eventually became the first governor of California. During my college years I became a mother for the first time and with the help of a fantastic nurse midwife I endured 19 hours of pitocin induction with no epidural. I was so young and naive at the time I didn't understand the true blessing she was in my life. That revelation hit me during my second birth, where a midwife wasn't available. That was the hardest pregnancy, the most life threatening delivery, and the most depressing postpartum experience of them all. I waited five years before deciding I was ready for another and this time I studied, I scoured my city for resources, and I found another amazing midwife. That birth was magical. I created an experience with the support of my midwife, my husband, my mother and mother in law that healed every traumatized part of my soul. My fourth birth was even better because I had a home birth midwife that time who helped me feel empowered and confident beyond what I had achieved in my prior pregnancies. This is when I decided that a law degree is nice, but midwifery lights my FIRE! I started my training soon after my son's birth and haven't looked back since. Beginning a career as a midwife during the height of a worldwide pandemic, when hospitals prioritized control over freedom in birth, was truly a gauntlet. Women sought out of hospital birth for the first time, fueled by fear and anxiety. I learned to meet women where they were at and move them into a space of peace, calm, and confidence in their bodies and their babies. In that space, my midwife mind was developed. I served hundreds of families in Missouri and Kansas, some families as far as 3 hours from my home because no midwife would travel to them. I gladly chose to drive hours round trip for home visits and births, because on those long drives through the Kansas plains, I was able to lay down prayers with every mile. Asking God, "Where do you want me? How do I get there? When should I go?" Like my ancestor, Peter Hardeman Burnett, the answer was "Go West, to the mountains". Full of faith, I began winding down my Kansas City practice and made plans to move to Utah. I married my spouse under the aspen trees at the foot of the mountains in Rotary Glen Park in Park City, UT and began building a life here. Now, I find myself rooted in the same valley as you all, with open arms and an open heart, ready to serve the families that are sent my way.

Hi, I'm Corina - midwife, mother, and matrescence facilitator. For over 30 years, I’ve held sacred space for women at their most raw and powerful moments—guiding them through the threshold of childbirth and into the postpartum period as a midwife. As a single mother of three and a purpose-driven entrepreneur, I know intimately the ache of trying to hold it all together while slowly losing touch with myself. After the birth of my third daughter, I was brought to my knees by the depths of postpartum depression and anxiety. I turned to the very tools I now teach—embodiment, feminine power, and the transformational map of matrescence—to reclaim my life from burnout and disconnection. Today, as a midwife and transformational facilitator, I support mothers in doing the same: coming home to themselves, reigniting their passion, and stepping fully into the powerful, integrated women they were born to be—at home, in business, and in the world.

I own and operate a birthing practice in Missouri and Kansas. My birthing practice is named My Ancient Birthing to commemorate my love for my God and also to embody and recognize ancient birthing practices. I am also an activist for the fair treatment of minorities; therefore, my practice serves as a pillar in supporting this paradigm. I am an ante, intra and postpartum doula AND midwife, a fertility and birth practitioner through DONA and I specialize in small surgical circumcision(s), lactation coaching and maternal fitness. I have a plethora of accomplishments through my work in My Ancient Birthing, but among the greatest achievement was being interviewed by the Voyage Magazine on March 5, 2026. I was able to introduce my birthing practice to people who are not privy to it and be a reminder for those who were already aware. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hi there, I am a home birth midwife who has been practicing since 2011. I have recently relocated from South Florida and have opened my availability to serve families in need of a birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation assistance and more while my home birth practice builds up in a new state. In my home birth practice I offer water birth, 70% of my clients choose to give birth in the water). You have freedom to labor and birth in any position you want, you are encouraged to eat and drink in labor, any decisions during your prenatal, birth and postpartum care are up to you. I can hep guide you but you are welcome to refuse almost anything in my care. This is your birth! I have extensive experience with breastfeeding, twins, newborns, etc. I love nurturing and educating families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This time can be confusing for new parents but having someone to answer questions and provide support is crucial to making this an empowering experience. I’d love to be able to work with your family if we are a good fit. Feel free to reach out, I love to give information over the phone and offer complimentary, in person consultations.

I am Shanna Hinrichs, and my story of community birth began over 20 years ago when I began supporting families as a doula, lactation consultant, and now midwife. I have known I was called to help women bring their babies earthside since I was a young child. I didn't know what that would look like, but I was fortunate to witness the intimate and precious home birth of a dear friend. That experience revealed my path as a birth worker and ignited my desire to serve women and their families in their most powerful and vulnerable moments. I am fulfilled by serving my incredible clients as their families grow. Attending births builds my trust over and over in women's bodies and their ability to transform and heal. I respect the responsibility of being a midwife and recognize the privilege of facilitating an experience that best supports my client's wishes. I believe that educated, informed choice is the best way for families to become empowered and make the best decisions for their pregnancy. That belief has afforded me the privilege to serve on the board of different cesarean awareness groups to help provide evidence-based information so families can make the appropriate choice for themselves and their current pregnancy. I am also a strong advocate for Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) when it is the most appropriate choice. I was born and raised in Garland but have had the privilege to live in a few different states. I am married and have given birth to 9 children, each with their own distinct story. Having experienced 9 very different births and breastfeeding journeys, I have lots of hands-on personal experience to offer to you.​ When not engrossed in the birth world, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our 4 school-age kids still at home, and our dog and cats, as well as playing in the great outdoors, eating delicious food, and making our home in Rowlett as peaceful as a home with 4 kids (still living at home), a dog, and 2 cats can be. I would love the opportunity to chat with you to see if I would be the best midwife for you and your family. If we decide that I am not the best fit, I am more than happy to help you find the care provider you deserve as you travel this beautiful journey. ​​

I am a home birth midwife and placenta encapsulation specialist. I love to serve women and help ensure they have the support they need to have the birth they deserve.

Hi! I'm Naomi. I am a Certified Practitioner Midwife choosing to focus on providing birth and postpartum doula support. I keep my Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) cards active at all times. I am currently in the process of becoming certified as a postpartum doula. I believe that if women/birthing persons and their babies were truly supported in the way they most need, we would have peace on Earth. I decided to become a midwife and doula because I want to make the world a better place, and I believe the way to do that is to bring compassionate support to mothers and their babies. I received my training through Maternidad La Luz (birth center on the US/Mexico border) and the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). I have attended around 150 births and have provided care for many newborns. I currently run Little Angel Doula and work part time as a midwife assistant for a local home birth practice. My philosophy centers around trusting the birthing body and trusting the process of transition into parenthood. I am a firm believer in the power of gentle touch and calm words, good rest, good nourishment, and laughter. I have confidence in my heart and my hands to be there for you and your child.

As a homebirth midwife, it is my hope to facilitate an empowering environment for women to receive respectful care centered around bodily autonomy and supporting the family unit as a whole from pregnancy and birth to postpartum. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed with each choice that presents itself through out your entire time with me as your care provider. I believe no matter what birthing experience you chose, or if your plans change, having a say along with some self efficacy in your care can help achieve better birth outcomes overall.
