Mindful Midwifery LLC

Mindful Midwifery LLC Mindful Midwifery is committed to supporting midwives and those that seek midwifery care. Hi, I am Katie O’Brien.
(2)

I am a certified nurse midwife who has been committed to patient care for over 15 years. I graduated from Salisbury University in 2006 with my BSN and then headed straight to Georgetown University for my master’s degree in Nurse Midwifery. I graduated from Georgetown in 2007 and have been delivering babies and caring for women across their lifespan ever since. I have worked in three different practice settings in two states which has given me experiences across the spectrum of healthcare preferences. I am experienced in low-risk natural childbirth as well as high risk, highly medicalized childbirth. I have taken care of teens and women for their gynecological needs. I know firsthand how challenging it is to provide enough education in a 10-15 minute appointment. Having two young daughters, I know there is a need for health-based information that is not found through a quick online search. My passion lies in presenting information in a way that allows each family to have access to provider level information fitting their unique needs.

New Episode Alert! Nothing like a snow day, a cup of tea or coffee and a podcast! Hadja and I talk about how not all midwives wake up to feeling called to midwifery, red flags for a job fit and the importance of diversity in healthcare.

I like to celebrate the small victories! I just hit 250 downloads last night! Next up 500💜. I can’t be more excited to share my fellow midwives’ stories and life advice with the world.

It's hard to be vulnerable, especially in the medical field, but if you can't show vulnerability at work are you in the right place for you to thrive? Katie and Lindsay discuss how vulnerability can lead you to where you need to go next as well as how your priorities in life influence your work/life balance.

Here is my podcast! I had a lovely launch party last night (on the solstice of course!) and I am feeling so excited to share the voices of my midwife friends with you! They have inspired me to continue to provide care to women and families despite whatever I have had to deal with personally or professionally. This is a podcast about women who live, raise families, have hobbies, have struggles and also work as frontline midwives. Each voice brings new perspective to many life events that are universal human experiences beyond birth. Listen because you love midwives or because you need to hear how it's universally hard to juggle life and work (but we will keep trying!) or because you just need something different to listen to! I hope you find as much life wisdom woven throughout these tales about midwifery as I have. And if you enjoy, please share because one of the things I love most about podcasting is it is still dominated by word-of-mouth marketing 💜

It's been a long time since I posted. I have been working hard these last few months as I completely change up my business model...again! When I first started Mindful Midwifery, I had the goal of educating women and their families about health. Fast forward three years and I am back to that goal...with a twist! I love, love, love mentoring midwives. I want midwifery to grow, to thrive and to be a great field for those that go into it and for those that experience the beauty of midwifery care. I have been working hard to create a podcast that supports midwives and midwifery as a field. I finally have a title (one of the hardest parts for me in creating this!) and I am in the final edits of the first six episodes. I plan on launching in December so stay tuned!

I am really excited to be back on Tabitha and Kimberly's podcast this time talking about gestational diabetes! I know how little we explain this testing in the prenatal care office setting and how many people have questions surrounding the need for testing for gestational diabetes. I am happy to have a great resource now that you can share with your friends and family (and please listen if you have had GDM in the past!) if they are struggling with understanding the purpose of testing for it and monitoring sugars after.

This is such a great podcast! For those of you who are avid podcast listeners, please add this podcast to your queue. If podcasts normally aren't your thing, please consider trying this out. Tabitha and Kimberly will be great guides if you are on a nutrition journey this year. We are often shamed into our health understandings, particularly when it comes to nutrition. Tabitha and Kimberly present their knowledge in a science based but empathetic way. They each bring such a wealth of knowledge to this podcast.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on menopause—exploring its history, the science behind it, and the latest research on what’s really happening during perimenopause and beyond. From hormonal shifts to the physical and emotional chang...
