Get to Know Me
Hi, I’m Brooke! I live in beautiful Upper Bucks County with my husband, our two amazing children, and our family rooted in so much love. My family is at the heart of my work and is a constant reminder of just how meaningful—and transformative—the journey into parenthood can be.
My own journey to parenthood began in 2013. During my pregnancy and birth, I found myself drawn to choices and approaches that didn’t always fit within the standard medical model. That experience opened the door to a deeper exploration of natural parenting, alternative education, and, ultimately, birth work.
There’s a saying my midwife shared with me that has stayed with me ever since: “You birth how you live.” I believe birth is deeply personal, and that the way we are supported through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum matters tremendously.
My work in birth began in 2016 as a birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator. From there, I became a home birth midwife assistant and eventually a traditional midwife. Every role has taught me something new and has deepened my respect for the incredible individuality of each woman, baby, and family.
How I Serve You
I believe you deserve to feel safe, respected, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey.
My role is not to tell you what your birth should look like, but to listen, educate, support, and walk alongside you as you discover what feels right for you and your family. I want you to feel empowered in your choices and confident in your ability to navigate this transformative season.
I bring my experience, knowledge, and whole heart to this work, while honoring that you are the expert in your own body and your own family.
I’m also an open book—transparent, approachable, and always willing to have the honest conversations. I hope that our relationship feels collaborative, trusting, and grounded in mutual respect.
Let’s Meet!
Choosing a midwife is deeply personal, and I believe finding the right fit matters.
I would love the opportunity to hear your story—your hopes, your questions, your previous experiences, and what you’re envisioning for this pregnancy and birth. A consultation gives us the space to get to know one another, talk openly about your needs and values, and see if we feel like the right fit for each other.
There is no pressure and no expectation. Just a chance to connect, ask questions, and begin a conversation.
This transition into parenthood is monumental, and you deserve nothing less than kindness, respectful care, and loving support along the way.
I would be honored to meet you and hear your story.

Allentown OfficeI’m Allison (Allie) - Community Midwife, mama to two, married to my best friend, living on the Blue Mountain just below the Appalachian trail.
My path to birth work began shortly after the birth of my first baby in 2015. Having experienced firsthand the disconnect and mistreatment that often permeates standard obstetric care- I felt the call to support women in reclaiming their experiences. First, as a doula in all birth settings, then as a midwife assistant, before taking the plunge into midwifery school and apprenticeship.
I believe that birth is a Rite of Passage- a sacred initiation that lays the foundation forward. It informs how we view ourselves as women, how we mother our children, and how we show up in our communities.
