I could not be more excited, humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude to introduce you to the Tree Of Life Midwifery Team 🌳
When I started my midwifery journey, I set out to be a solo midwife not totally grasping what that meant. My first office was in my home and I loved it. What I imagined to be a slow start turned out to be full of unexpected growth and before I knew it, I found myself stretched way to thin, being pulled in too many directions, and perpetually exhausted.
While I had been building my practice, my practice had been disassembling me.
When I said “yes” to being a solo midwife, I said “yes” to missing birthdays and anniversaries, “yes” to showing up to clinic exhausted after being up at births all night, “yes” to being tied to my phone 24/7/365 and “yes” to offering the remnants of myself to my family - to the people who deserve the best of me.
The reality is that full-time solo midwifery is not sustainable for midwives. But what I also came to realize is that it’s not sustainable for clients either. When you hire a midwife, you deserve to have a well-rested midwife at your birth. You deserve to have someone who can be fully attentive to you during your prenatal and postpartum visits. You deserve to have someone available to answer the phone at all times, even if another birth is happening. You deserve a *team* to care for you.
And so, a little over a year ago, I began to dream. I began to dream about what it might be like to build a team to care for my clients. A team of skilled midwives, incredible wisdom, different strengths, and a shared calling. It’s surreal to get to introduce you to that dream come to life today 🥹
Friends, please give a warm welcome to Giuliana Pica and Deidra Wester, two INCREDIBLE midwives. These women have become some of my closest friends. They are midwives who I would trust to take care of me or my daughters. They are so smart, so gentle, so wise, and genuinely some of the most beautiful souls to walk this earth.
Together, we will be serving our clients to provide the best possible care. I can’t wait for you to meet them 🤍
Love,
Morgann
