Meet Our Midwives & Team

Hannah is a full-time licensed CPM midwife with Earthside. Hannah enjoys all aspects of birth work, and excels at providing compassionate care for our clients! Hannah joined the Earthside team in February of 2025.

Hannah graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Midwifery with Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. The most recent 3 years she has been diligently serving the wonderful families that make up San Diego and Riverside county. Originally from Chicagoland, she prides herself in coming from a family full of chiropractors and a mother that gave birth to 5 of her 6 babies from the sacred comforts of her home, assisted by rallying midwives. In her free time she enjoys working out, cooking food and the arts.

Rebekah is a Certified Professional Midwife. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Midwifery from Mercy in Action College of Midwifery and the seed that led to her choice to become a Midwife began when she had the privilege of attending the home birth of her cousin years ago. Rebekah was trained as a Midwife in both home and birth center settings across Colorado. She believes that the way babies come into this world matters, and she respects the sanctity of birth and aims to hold space in the birth room and beyond for women and their babies to work together, come forth and be changed for the better through the process. She sees the childbearing year as a holistic event that affects each person for the rest of their lives and aims to give clients knowledge to thrive and be nourished as they move forward from Midwifery care. Outside of her time spent as a Midwife, she also works as a Craniosacral Fascial Therapist, she is always learning and growing, and she spends lots of time in the kitchen and outside.

River is a student midwife working towards a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery through Mercy in Action College of Midwifery. A certified birth and postpartum doula since 2020, River has supported families across a wide range of birth experiences. River is a parent to two boys in elementary school and has lived on three continents, with extensive travel around the world. These experiences inform a grounded, culturally responsive approach to care. Their CPR and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) certifications are current at all times.

Nichole is originally from Colorado and brings a medical and military background to the Earthside team, including experience as an OB/GYN medical assistant and in emergency care. Her interest in maternal care began when she welcomed her first daughter and has stayed with her throughout raising two children and a full professional career.

Nichole has a passion for fitness and cooking outside of work and prefers to get her steps in on the treadmill rather than brave the Wyoming wind! She enjoys supporting women and families as part of the Earthside team.

Allison has been a birth doula and small business owner for 5 years, and is a cofounder and CFO of Earthside Birth and Wellness Center.
