Meet the Midwives of California

FIND a Midwife in CALIFORNIA

CNMA believes that every family deserves a midwife.

Welcome to CNMA's meet the midwives page!

California is lucky to have legal practice for Licensed Midwives and Certified Nurse-Midwives, and our meet the midwives project celebrates both!

You can learn more about midwifery care on our website as well as the difference in licensing between CNMs and LMs here!

Wait...
