FOUNDER & LEAD MIDWIFE
Adrienne Brown
Adrienne Brown is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Direct-Entry Midwife (LDEM) with a passion for transforming maternity care into a more natural, informed, and personal experience. Raised on a farm in rural New York, Adrienne grew up immersed in the rhythms of natural living, which shaped her approach to birth and wellness. After a deeply medicalized experience seeking a midwife for her first home birth in 1995, Adrienne became a birth advocate, founding grassroots organizations and championing informed choices for families.
With studies in women’s studies, sustainable leadership, and midwifery, Adrienne has attended to over 1,500 births across the U.S., serving families in both rural and urban communities. Her approach blends modern, evidence-based practices with the intuition and compassion that make birth a transformative experience.
As founder of Wasatch Midwifery, Adrienne is committed to creating a space where families feel empowered, supported, and seen through every stage of their journey.

When not working or studying, she is out camping, frequents Bear Lake to boat and paddle board, and especially loves all things Christmas and meticulously wrapping gifts.

Kaitlin is a mother of two wonderful Wasatch Midwifery born kids! She is proud to be one of many staff who came first as a patient and now finds herself here most days (and nights), doing what she loves. A theatre major in college, Kaitlin regularly shares her creative spirit and affable humor, creating birth related TikToks, keeping us belly laughing with memes and her one-of-a-kind content. Kaitlin has an impeccable eye for keeping all things running smoothly, stocked, and prepared for all that comes our way in the clinic- which is a rather amazing feat! She has a gentle and present way with parents that is the exact soft and consistent reassurance they need to do the work of childbirth. Kaitlin loves taking photos of the spectacular Wasatch Mountains right outside the clinic door, in all moments of daylight and starlight, capturing the important reminders of the magic that goes on within these walls. Kaitlin is a Utah native, and loves having nature in her backyard, introducing her growing children to climbing trees, hikes, exploring streams, parks, and culture right here at home. She is a grad of UVU and a new midwifery student at The Midwives College of Utah where she is pursuing her midwifery degree. She lives on the west side with her husband and children.

Kate is a mother of four (two midwife-born),keeper of an ever growing flock of chickens and ducks, and master of all things billing around WMW. She loves books, camping, and especially making the perfect latte. Kate is a self-professed "billing nerd" and despite the challenge of submitting and resubmitting claims (again, and again, and AGAIN!), she is committed to facilitating insurance reimbursements for midwifery care. Kate loves working at WMW because, as she states, "after using midwives myself (Adrienne was her midwife!) I realized that this could be an option, it's just amazing!" She also attends births on occasion and most importantly cleans and restocks all of the birth rooms impeccably after each delivery. Kate lives with her family, including her beloved border collie, Oliver, in Bountiful.
