Jessica Collins

My birthwork journey began in 2016 when I found my love for supporting women throughout their reproductive journeys by volunteering as a birth and postpartum doula. I quickly learned that I could do so much more to help support women as a midwife. I spent years apprenticing with different midwives and studying towards becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). I have also received Licensure as a Direct Entry Midwife in Utah State. I always carry current NPR (Neonatal Resuscitation) and CPR/BLS certifications. I am currently going back to school to become a LBCLC.

​

That all said, I strongly believe that my true credentials come from a different source. As a spiritual woman, I believe that this is what I am meant to be doing and I have been guided down this path. I recognize that there are things unseen, but often felt during each birth experience and understand that as your midwife, I hold an intimate and sacred role. 

 

I feel that the name “Birth-Keeper” is more suited to the type of midwifery I strive to practice, as I strongly believe that babies are born how they are conceived: in peace, safety, and comfort. I focus on ‘keeping’ that safe space for you to deepen your awareness of the birthing process, and offer the information you need to make empowered choices throughout your care. My role as a midwife is to witness you, to exalt you, to comfort you, to support you, to revere you, to love you, and to uplift you in your own power. This is your body, your baby, your birth, your choice. I hope to have the honor of supporting you through it.
