Meet the Heart Behind Sacred Birth Midwifery
Birth is one of life’s most profound moments, and you deserve a midwife who truly sees you. With certified nurse-midwifery expertise, holistic wisdom, and deep compassion, we provide the personalized, relationship-based care that honors your body, respects your choices, and supports your sacred journey into parenthood.
Kayla Gomez, Midwife CNM-DNP-ARNP
I’m a certified nurse-midwife and advanced practice nurse who has been working in healthcare since 2014 and attending births at home since 2022. I choose to support birth at home because I believe in the power of undisturbed birth… and I believe in the power of you.
My midwifery practice blends spirit and science. I believe midwives walk between worlds, rooted in evidence-based care and guided by intuition. After a decade as a psychiatric nurse, I earned my Doctorate in Nurse-Midwifery at the University of Washington while teaching yoga and apprenticing as a shamanic women’s herbalist. I’ve always believed in natural and holistic health practices and in the body’s innate ability to heal itself. This informs my midwifery practice and how I hold space for women and families.
I view my role as sharing both wisdom and knowledge to help you reclaim your power as the leader in your birth space. Midwifery is sacred women’s work, a spiritual calling. Guided by my ancestral lineage, where pregnancy and birth were honored as holy, spiritual events, I practice ancient medicine alongside medical expertise. I’m also a prenatal yoga teacher, intuitive bodyworker, shamanic herbalist, ceremonialist, fertility awareness specialist, and meditation guide.
My personal calling in this work is about reclaiming birth as a profound spiritual process and sacred event, reminding women that you don’t need to be taught how to give birth… you need to remember.
In my free time I love to be outdoors, practicing yoga, reading a good book in the sunshine, hiking with my beloved pets, or traveling to new places.
Danelle Osborne, Student CPM & Birth Assistant
I’m a mother of three, a devoted birth worker, and an Air Force Veteran (Medic). My path has moved through hairstyling and digital marketing, but no matter where I went, I kept coming back to the same truth: my heart is drawn to women, to birth, and to the quiet, powerful wisdom that lives inside every mother. My own birth experiences lit a fire in me to understand the sacred, physical, and spiritual layers of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
That became my why… the reason I stepped fully into midwifery. I believe no woman should walk through birth feeling unheard, unseen, or unsure of her own strength. Every mother deserves care rooted in respect, evidence, intuition, and genuine holistic connection.
Now serving as a Student CPM and Birth Assistant, I offer grounded and heartfelt support because I truly believe women carry an inner knowing that deserves to be honored and trusted. My calling is centered on being with mothers as they bring new life into the world, especially in the home setting where families can lead their own birth experience with confidence and autonomy.
I believe the best outcomes come from compassionate care, real choice, and gentle guidance that keeps families at the center of every decision. Whether I’m assisting at a birth, holding space for a laboring mother, or studying late into the night, my dedication remains the same.
My mission… my deepest why… is to hold safe, supportive spaces where mothers feel empowered, well informed, and deeply cared for.
Mara Heiden, Student Midwife, MA, IBCLC
I chose this calling because I see birth as a birthright that belongs to women. I see birth as a radical transformation, from who you were to who you’re becoming. Birth is a time where you claim your healing and your power… I’m here to walk with you through it and sit at your feet.
My path to midwifery has led me to pursue the NARM PEP process. I’ve chosen to study from elder midwives and am currently in the Matrona 2026 cohort, continuing to seek out opportunities to learn under those who carry the traditional wisdom. I chose this path because I believe traditional midwifery is an art that calls to be reclaimed.
My favorite passage on midwifery comes from the Old Testament: “But because the midwives feared God, they refused.” And we’re still here, refusing to give up on your sovereign path to reclaim your birthright.
In addition to pursuing midwifery, I’m an IBCLC and photographer, as well as a Reiki practitioner. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2015 with my Master’s degree. In 2022, I graduated from the University of California San Diego’s Lactation Consultant program.
I spend my free time homeschooling my kids, traveling, and painting.
