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.
