At Ìyá Pittsburgh Project, we believe that opportunity, safety, options, and dignity should be a part of every perinatal experience—not determined by socioeconomic status, race, or gender.

We are raising funds to purchase the Butterfly iQ3 handheld ultrasound—a tool that will provide Traditional Community Midwives with the same diagnostic capabilities as other providers, without placing a financial burden on those serving our community.

Why This Matters:
- Equitable Care: Access to ultrasound ensures midwives have the tools they need to provide comprehensive, informed support.

- Breaking Financial Barriers: Many community providers and families cannot afford expensive imaging services. This purchase will make ultrasound more accessible without additional costs.

- Empowering Midwives: Traditional Community Midwives play a critical role in safe, holistic, and culturally competent home birth care. This device will help them continue serving families with the highest standard of care.

How You Can Help:
Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.

Share: Spread the word! Your voice helps us reach more people who believe in equity in birth care.

Together, we can remove barriers and ensure that every birthing person receives the care they deserve. Thank you for supporting our mission!

Our Story

Michele plunged into their midwifery journey head first as a 16 year old looking for some direction in their life after attending the undiagnosed twin birth of a friend in the basement of another friend's house. What followed was a few apprenticeships, college classes, a distance study course, lots of self-study, and a continued passion for holding space for pregnant and birthing people. As a genderq***r (trans nonbinary) midwife, Michele has a special interest in providing care for q***r and gender-diverse clients from pre-conception through early parenthood, as well as providing inclusive and culturally competent Well Person Care.

Michele now spends time teaching student birthworkers, teaching s*x & s*xuality education, and expanding their reach as a community herbalist. At some point, when another 12 hours are added to the day, they will find time to get back to gardening and hand quilting.
