Our Mission - “We Rise Together”

Jannae has a passion for public health and reproductive justice. The fusion of birth,
advocacy and holistic health felt like the perfect way to live with purpose. Jannae lives
their life with a genuine desire to leave a positive impact on others through
individuality and relationship-focused care. Jannae strives to create a safe space that
nurtures the entire person. Jannae’s presence enriches the world of midwifery, setting a
powerful example of inclusivity, respect, and love.


Together, we celebrate the boundless possibilities that arise when diversity and
expertise intertwine, creating a tapestry of care that embraces all. Jannae hopes to
encourage a sense of confidence and inspire strength for childbirth and beyond.
