Meet the Midwives
Get to Know Jana
Born and raised in Wyoming I am a cowgirl, mother, and wife. I have been married 19 years and have 3 beautiful children as well as carried three babies for three families who could not conceive. You can usually find me with my horses, outside, or with my family.
My best friend introduced me to midwifery during my pregnancy with my Daughter. I had never really thought of this as my path in life, I had desperately wanted to fly helicopters in the military, but I had also always loved everything birth related and during that pregnancy I really dived into learning more about it. All of my friends, and even acquaintances, would come to me asking for advice or education on all things birth. Because of this I fell in love with midwifery and set out to pursue it. I really enjoyed empowering these women to stand their ground and go for what they wanted. The first step I took was to get my Doula license. I attended a few births during that time, but was accepted into midwifery school shortly after and decided to put my whole focus into that.
Throughout pregnancy I really focus on incorporating holistic, midwifery care which includes herbs, homeopathic remedies, supplements, acupuncture, and chiropractic care. I am certified in CPR, Neonatal Resuscitation, and phlebotomy. I am also more hands off and encourage all my clients to educate themselves on pregnancy and birth. I want them to feel empowered and in control of their own health.
I graduated from Midwives College of Utah April 2024. I attended over 50 births with My Family Birth Center In Ogden, UT. I opened my doors in June of 2024 and have delivered an aditional 11 babies. I am excited to bring the option of out of hospital birth to the Evanston and surrounding areas. I worked with some amazing midwives and am so thankful that they crossed my path.

Get to know Tanith
Student Midwife
I’m Tanith! Wyoming has been home to me since I was five years old, and my love for the outdoors has always been a big part of who I am. When I’m not studying midwifery, you can usually find me mountain biking, camping, paddle boarding, or exploring the mountains.
My family and young siblings sparked my interest in the world of birth! After catching my brother and sister it led me to become a doula and pursue additional education through Breech Beyond Borders and now midwifery. I am currently attending Midwives College of Utah, where I am pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Midwifery and working toward becoming a midwife who provides safe, compassionate, and empowering care to women and their families. I also offer birth photography because I believe the moments surrounding birth are incredibly meaningful and deserve to be remembered while your family and loved ones focus on YOU. I feel honored to walk alongside families during such a transformative season of life and look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and serve the families in our community.
