Currently studying to complete her BSN towards an FNP
My passion is helping new parents thrive and build confidence in themselves and their bodies. Above all, I believe in empowering families to take control of their experience - giving women the tools to become active participants in their care.
Birth is just one part of the entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey that shapes you into the parent you’re becoming.
You don’t have to go through this journey alone, and you don’t have to be a passive passenger while things happen to you.
Having a midwife means being supported in every decision you make, educated about your options, and connected to a community that nurtures you as you grow.
As a midwife and a mother in this community, I feel truly grateful to be a part of this journey with you. It's a privilege to walk alongside you as we bring new life into the world together.
​
I am a natural minded mom who loves teas and the remedies you can find in your kitchen, hiking and books, along with cooking for my family and getting dirt on my hands in the garden with my kids.
I believe in attachment parenting, free range kids, and the importance of nurturing our children’s individual spirits.
​
I have five kiddos of my own.
All born with their own individual experiences. One born in the hospital, Three in birth centers, one at home.

Serving families since 2001 as a Childbirth Educator, Nanny and has enjoyed offering birth support to hundreds of birthing women since 2009 as a Doula before becoming a Midwife.​

Our Team
Student Midwife Emily Vogel
Emily Vogel is currently pursuing a career as a missionary midwife. Over the past four years, she has trained as a missionary by completing three training schools and serving as a staff member for one. She also became a facilitator for trauma healing groups through the Trauma Healing Institute. Emily chose to become a missionary midwife because she views birth as a beautiful mystery, one she could spend her life studying and understanding. Outside of studies, she enjoys gardening and trail running. After certification, she desires to move to Brazil as a Missionary Midwife.
