Assistant Midwife

Adrien is an assistant midwife and senior student midwife who studied at the Midwives College of Utah. She has been a midwifery student, birthworker and trained doula for the past 3 years. She also has a background in nursing and EMT training. Before becoming a birth assistant, Adrien worked as a caregiver for 6 years throughout college.

Somewhere along the way, Adrien discovered the magic of birth and pregnancy and felt a calling to work in that field. After shadowing in the labor and delivery unit, she realized her true passion for caring for birthing people. While attending school in Utah, Adrien has been drawn to community midwifery and home birth.

Adrien grew up hiking in Colorado and visits her family there often. After highschool, she studied in Massachusetts and graduated in Kansas before moving to Salt Lake City to attend midwifery school. She lives downtown with her cat, Mr.Peaches, and enjoys exploring the canyons and practicing yoga.

Adrien is solid gold. She has worked as an assistant midwife at Olive Branch Midwifery for the past 3 years. She is an integral part of our team and has brought so much warmth, love, and joy to this practice. She has a calm, gentle presence in the birth space. She truly makes you feel held and loved during such a vulnerable process and her belief and trust in birth is empowering to all those who are lucky to be cared for by her.
