GET TO KNOW YOUR MIDWIFE
I'm Midwife Michelle!
I'm the heart behind Ruach Ezerah Midwifery, LLC. My journey into midwifery is rooted in years of birth work, a passion for compassionate support, and a desire to honor every family's unique journey.
I look forward to walking alongside families in Hawaiʻi with calm support, gentle guidance, and a heart rooted in faith.
MY STORY
A Journey Shaped by Birth, Family & Faith
My path into midwifery began through seven years of work as a birth doula, where I witnessed the power of informed, compassionate support during pregnancy and birth. Those experiences inspired me to deepen my education and offer families skilled, continuous care.
I am a mother of four and a military spouse since 2015, experiences that have shaped my flexibility, patience, and presence as a care provider.
I began formal midwifery education at the Midwives College of Utah in 2022, completed extensive clinical training under a Certified Nurse Midwife in Georgia, and graduated in December 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery. That same month, I earned my CPM credential after passing the NARM exam. Finally, I became a Licensed Midwife in the State of Hawaiʻi in March 2026.
MY PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS
Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM)
Certified Professional Midwife (CPM)
Licensed Midwife (LM), State of Hawaiʻi
MY APPROACH TO MIDWIFERY
Care Rooted in Respect, Knowledge & Compassion
My care is rooted in the midwifery model of care, emphasizing safety, respect, shared decision-making, and unhurried, relationship-centered visits.
I value thoughtful education, open dialogue, and supporting birth as a natural process guided with skill, humility, and gentleness.
As a lifelong learner, I maintain continuing education, emergency skills training, and study herbal and evidence-informed supports for families.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Outside of midwifery, I enjoy physical fitness, vibing to Afrobeats, gardening, herbal preparation, and time with my family.
It is an honor to prepare to serve families in Hawaiʻi, and I look forward to walking alongside them with calm support, gentle guidance, and a heart rooted in faith.
