We are pleased to welcome Laura Meyers, CNM into her new role as midwife! Laura has been with WBWC in various capacities since 2013: first as a nurse, then as a student midwife, and now as a full-time CNM.

Laura was inspired to become a midwife by the amazing women who took care of her during her own pregnancies and births. Her first birth was attended by a physician, and her subsequent pregnancies and home births were attended by midwives. The stark contrast between the holistic care she received from midwives and the care she received during her first pregnancy helped her realize that all women deserved that model of care, and that she wanted to be a part of delivering it.

Having worked as a hospital Labor & Delivery nurse for nine years, Laura appreciates the unique care that the staff of WBWC are able to provide to women and their families. Laura was thrilled that her daughter was able to experience this first hand when her granddaughter was born in the peach room last fall. Her daughter is one of many women and their families who choose to drive over an hour seeking the midwifery model offered by the birth center staff.

Laura has been married for over 30 years. She and her husband have three adult children. She enjoys reading, sewing, crochet and spending time with family. Laura looks forward to serving the women and families of WBWC for many years to come.
