Donna has been an amazing addition to our Pittsburgh Midwife & Co. team & we want to feature her expertise as we move into another wonderful year of serving our community.
Donna has 6 children, 5 born at home- the last baby breech. 👶👶👶👶👶👶
Donna attended Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery, is trained by toLABOR for Doula Care, and is certified in Neonatal Resuscitation and Basic Life Support.
She has attended births since 2010 and has had the honor of attending home and birth center births under the apprenticeship model with 7 midwives, and two birth centers.
Donna brings a wealth of experience and passion for supporting families through the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
“Creating and welcoming a new life takes you down a rabbit hole you had not known existed. You go through the gates alone and come out on the other side completely transformed.”
Donna realized this after having her first home birth.
The process of pregnancy and birth drew her into the world of midwifery. She had her first experience with the birth of new life at the age of 14 while attending to her older sister’s birth.
She knew then that she was destined to be around birthing women.
Now, as a midwife, Donna currently attends births in her client’s home.
“My strongest desire is for women to know their options and to protect the sacred space of their birth.”
We know you will love Donna as much as we do!
Thank you for being an integral part of our team.
