ABOUT ME
Good day and welcome to my site! My name is Brook Holmberg and I am a true lover of all things birth. My journey into working with birthing families started just months before I became pregnant with my first babe, when a good friend asked if she could have her second baby (a VBAC) at my house with a local Midwife. I was as delighted as I was mystified and fascinated. When I became pregnant, my friend highly suggested I attend a prenatal appointment with her to meet her Midwife. After the first meeting of that very Midwife, my life changed forever. My husband and I hired her with out a second guess, and we absolutely fell in love with her, with her philosophy on birth and of course, with the way she cared for us. It was at that time that I began to see clearly the path I would be taking as a woman in this world.
Fast forward 5 years and here I am today, a senior student Midwife with the Aviva College, an Aviva College Certified Birth Doula, an Aviva College Certified Childbirth Educator, a Blooma Certified Prenatal Yoga Instructor and a 235-hour Certified Yoga Instructor (Devanadi - RYT 200 Yoga Alliance). I truly, truly believe that pregnancy is a supreme state of being, that childbirth should be empowering for mother, partner and baby, and that motherhood is an absolute gift (ups and downs alike). Please know that I do not approach a mother's birth as if it was my own, instead, I honor the mother for her unique needs, desires and journey...simply put, in all of my work with birthing families, I meet them where they are at.
