It is an honor to see the original face of any new one.

Each baby born holds the light very purely and... I greet the new one

with celebration and gratitude for the ordinary miracle of birth.

-Jeannine Parvati Baker

Collaborative care is a relationship between providers—such as midwives, nurses, physicians, social workers, cultural and spiritual healers, and others—that is built on respect and understanding of the unique and complementary skills that each provider brings to the

situation to influence optimal outcomes for women, newborns and families.

Meet Our Team

We are constantly researching, engaging with fellow midwives, and consulting with other healthcare professionals to ensure we offer you safe, evidence-based options for care.

During birth it is important that there are enough hands.

Our team includes a Certified Professional Midwife, a Senior Student Midwife, and a dedicated Birth Assistant. Together, we bring a blend of experience, expertise, and compassion to every birth.

For additional support and consultations, we collaborate with a Nurse Practitioner, midwives, and other obstetric providers from across the Wasatch Front. This ensures you have access to the most comprehensive and individualized care possible. While our team is prepared to fully support your birth, we also maintain strong professional connections for seamless backup and expert input when needed.

At Mountain Time Midwifery & Wellness, there is a saying that defines the spirit of our care: We don’t make friends, we make family. We want your birth to be a positive experience surrounded by people you trust.
