The Midwives

Olivia Joy Kimble, LM, CPM, MSM

Owner, lead midwife

Olivia’s approach to midwifery is leadership through shared goals: empower the client towards health, birth with strength and purpose, and parent through postpartum with endurance and love. Olivia is a focused, dedicated leader in midwifery aiming to bridge gaps of knowledge and understanding about birthing at home so that families and facilities can all equitably use time and resources to help achieve our shared goals of safe moms and babes.

Midwife

Melissa Moreland, LM, CPM, RN

Melissa’s approach to care is rooted in deep presence, true informed consent, and unwavering respect for patient autonomy. She believes birth belongs to women and families—not to systems or policies—and is passionate about family-centered care that honors each person’s values, intuition, and choices. She deeply trusts normal physiologic birth and believes that healthy people are safest giving birth at home, protected from the cascade of unnecessary medical interruptions and interventions.

Baby Girl Stephanie

“Having Olivia as my midwife made me feel like I had a teammate and a best friend during my prenatal care. She was so patient, encouraging, and informative; this wasn’t even my first baby yet I learned a lot from her.”

— Rosemary S. (Eddie’s mother)
