Elizabeth chose a career in midwifery after seeing the connection between proper healthcare and individual’s empowerment. She believes patients who have access to a provider they can trust will have less stress in their lives because their concerns are being heard. Elizabeth loves meeting new patients and making plans for their health together. Whether it is discussing a birth plan or finding the right birth control method, Elizabeth finds it fun exploring options with her patients so they can feel excited about their care. She has a special interest in working with Spanish-speaking patients, postpartum support and Centering Pregnancy, a group-centered approach to prenatal care.

For Megan, midwifery is her calling. She became a midwife to educate and empower women to take control of their well-being. Supporting women through all of life’s transitions is a fulfilling, humbling and fun job for her. She gets excited to go to work each day as she thinks about the women she will meet and the relationships she will build. Megan is particularly interested in promoting physiologic birth—which tends to be both safer and healthier—and is passionate about working to reduce disparities in maternity care. She speaks Spanish and is committed to improving migrant farmworker health.
