Part of being a good midwife/doula/birth worker is being a continual learner. Every 2 years I recertify in neonatal resuscitation, and this year I took birth emergency skills again, to stay up to date on best practices, and practice the skills we don’t have to use very often. It was an incredibly educational time, and im so glad I get the opportunity to be better. My mini midwife also got some practice, and lots of midwife love this weekend.

Reflection.
Sitting in the sun, touching the earth, drinking much needed coffee. Abiding in Him. Thankful isn’t enough. 4 births in 4 days. 10 in 3 weeks. I got the opportunity to be on the teams of managing hemorrhage, perineal repairs and injuries, shoulder dystocias, neonatal resuscitation, and many prenatals and postpartums in between. I feel so honored to have been welcomed by these families, to have the opportunity to learn at the feet of senior midwives and mothers. I pray I cherish these days when I’m long past student hood. These are my formative years, and I feel blessed beyond any prayer I could have come up with.

Have I had the incredible honor of serving you on your pregnancy and birth journey over the last 6 years?
If so the biggest blessing and repayment you could ever give me, is to write a google or Facebook review about your experience.
As the slow closing of one chapter of my birth work begins, and I prepare for a new chapter to start in the coming months, I want to remember through your eyes. I’d love to hear the words and perspective you had. I pray I’m the hands and feet of the Father, with a spirit like Shiphrah to each and every one of you.
I’d also love for future doula and birth clients alike to hear the story only you tell. Your support is always appreciated. As life gets a little crazier, and i take more and more steps in the direction of my dreams, I’m so thankful for every path I’ve crossed and every life I’ve been a part of.🌿

International midwives day ✨
There aren’t enough words to describe the love, community and support I’ve found from these midwives. The way they have healed parts of me that I didn’t even know needed healed, and everything they have taught me I will forever be thankful for. They stretch me, and give me the opportunity to gain confidence. They believe in me when I don’t believe in myself. All while most importantly holding space and serving mothers. The opportunity to learn and serve along side them is an honor. This last year has been nothing short of incredible, as it was about this time a year ago, that I really started my apprenticeship. To think one day I won’t be attending every birth with them makes my heart hurt just a little bit, but I know that they will have taught me well and I will be carrying them with me wherever I go. I will be the midwife I am thank to them.
Not just this team that I’m a part of but so many midwives that bless my community every day I am so thankful for. I like to think we’re blessed with some of the best. If you know a midwife or are a midwife recognize them today. Love them, and treat them extra special as the job of a Midwife is nothing short of holy work. One day will simply never be enough to honor this incredibly important and sacred work.

Midwifery care is family centered care.
Unless doing something clinical and necessary, midwives aren’t in your space. They don’t come between you and dad, and they don’t direct the room. Midwives welcome grandmas, and siblings. Often holding big brother, or hugging a nana.
The art of midwifery involves sitting on your hands and holding space, usually most of the time. Praying in the corner while the veil thins. Being an intercessor before being an intervener. It’s knowing when and if skills are needed, and praying they really aren’t. Midwifery is respectful, holy work.

As we enter the week of international midwives day, I hope to share this perspective more. I hope you love and cherish your midwives for not only the education and intelligence, they bring to your birth, with the emotional strength and spiritual connection and weight they leave at your door, but then walk out of every birth with.

The year of repeats and oh so special births.🌿
Three over lapping pregnancies, 2 births, 2 years apart that my newest babies also got to attend. These births and these friends are so special to me and I’m honored to have been invited into their birth space again. To sit in bed at the end of baby number 3 and nurse my number 3 along side her is a story I’ll tell my grand children. Thank you to this sweet family for allowing me to sit in your sacred space, and watch the veil thin once more,

Our Story

//Collaborative (n) : “produced or conducted by two or more parties working together.”//

Who I am..

Welcome, I am The Birth Collaborative. I am a mother to an angel baby. I am a wife. I am a vegan. I am a space holder. I am a researcher. I am an educator. I am a friend. I am an advocate. I am a support. I am a confidant. I am a midwifery assistant. I am a doula.

My name is Hanna and I founded The Birth Collaborative in August of 2019. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart since October of 2016. In early 2017, I went on a health journey that forever changed my life. I began researching a plant based diet to heal my body. Down the rabbit hole of enlightenment, I discovered the midwifery model of care and knew this was a path I wanted to be on. After several years of questioning my calling, I finally took the plunge into birth work. My first step in the process was to become a doula. I quickly fell in love with supporting women during their crossover into motherhood. I want to do nothing more than watch women come into their power as they navigate their beautiful pregnancy and labor journey. I feel called above all else in life to be a space holder for the sacredness of birth. Although the picture shown is not myself, this embodies how I want every mother to feel during pregnancy and birth.
