Get to Know Our Team

I grew up as the fifth child in a family of fourteen, having always been around babies and loving them. In 2010 I caught my niece at my sister’s home birth in Virginia, which led me down the path of becoming a midwife. I have a bachelor’s degree in midwifery from the Midwives College of Utah and moved to Cincinnati with a passion for improving Ohio’s maternity care. I’m the founder of the Buckeye Birth Coalition, a 501c4 grassroots organization to improve birthing outcomes in Ohio. Additionally, I formed the Safer Birth Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to improve access to respectful maternity care by building midwifery centers. Before moving to Ohio, I lived in San Antonio Texas for two years and worked at Birth Center Stone Oak and with home birth midwives Robin Rabenschlag, Julie Hatfield, and Janet Dirmeyer. I earned my CPM certification in 2014, and have been practicing as a home birth midwife ever since. In 2017 I became certified as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Most recently I’ve been involved with legislative efforts to increase access to midwives and serve on the Kentucky Midwives Advisory Council, creating regulations for licensure of CPMs. In August 2020 I became the first Certified Professional Midwife to become licensed in the state of Kentucky and in January 2024 became licensed in Indiana.  My practice style is influenced by my personal health journey of healing from digestive issues, PCOS, infertility, and hypothyroidism. My healing came through self-care and by facing my trauma. Recently I’ve become an Arvigo/Tul’ix therapist. I’m excited to offer and teach this traditional Mayan healing modality which focuses on self-care and abdominal massage.

With over a decade of experience in midwifery, Meghan:

• Understands how to each and implement self-care. She practices daily self-care massage and keeps weekly self-care dates. She sets healthy boundaries

• Knows the female body. She can have 20 orgasms in a row and is a vaginal weight lifter. She’s healed from vaginismus. As a woman living with hypermobility and scoliosis, realizes the impact hormones have on the female skeletal system.

• Sees the power of facing your problems and healing trauma. She’s healed from PCOS, hyperthyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, and galactorrhea. 

• Believes gut healing is crucial. She’s healed her IBS, eczema, insulin resistance, and chronic yeast/gut dysbiosis by learning about and focusing on gut healing.

“I attended my first birth in 2018 and started working as a birth assistant in 2020. Personal autonomy is very important to me. I love to provide well rounded resources and knowledge to our families and see them take an active role in their care. My favorite thing about midwifery is the comfort and ability to have a baby in the safety of your own home.”

“I am honored to be a part of a place like the Cincinnati Birth Center that focuses on personal, family, and community growth. Our mission is to have everyone who enters our doors feel welcomed, and that is what is being done. We, as a whole, give back so others can begin the next chapter of their lives with their best foot forward. I cannot think of a better reason to be a part of such a great team.”

“ I love interacting with our current clients, helping prospective clients on board with us, and answering all questions people have for us. I am so grateful to have a helping hand in facilitating a positive birthing experience for anyone who comes into our practice.”
