Meet the Midwives of California

Meet the Midwives of CA

CNMA believes in a midwife for every woman .

Welcome to CNMA's meet the midwives page!

California is lucky to have legal practice for Licensed Midwives and Certified Nurse-Midwives, and our meet the midwives project celebrates both!

We hope you find the midwife that's right for you.

You can learn more about midwifery care on our website as well as the difference in licensing between CNMs and LMs here!

Wait...

what IS a midwife??

...and what is the difference between a CNM and a LM?
