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 hundreds of 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.

Terri has been a practicing midwife since 1995, and a colleague of Adrienne for 24 years. For Terri, midwifery has been one of her greatest joys, to the point which she considers this work to simply be a continuum of herself. She has practiced midwifery throughout the Americas, with extensive work over the years in Central and South America, and border regions of the US. This work has afforded her the opportunity to meet new people, appreciate new perspectives, and her diverse background allows her to support families with respect and understanding. Terri has used botanical medicine and traditional midwifery methods throughout her career, having learned from countless teachers in far reaching corners of the world. She loves the inherent present nature of birth, and the magic is that no two births are alike. Watching the sunrise after being up all night with new parents is a joy that never gets old! Her professional studies at the University of North Dakota include Public Health and social determinants of health, which she finds fascinating. Terri is the proud parent of an adult son, and loves leading herbal workshops for kids and their parents. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, Terri embodies southern friendliness in all she does. She loves travel, , being outside hiking and exploring, soaking in hot springs, meeting new people, and as a new-to-Utah transplant via New Mexico, Philadelphia and Seattle, Terri looks forward taking in all this state has to offer!

Tianna is one of our core staff members at WMW and a Birth Assistant over the last 4 years. Although she does not work in the clinic day to day, she attends many deliveries with our midwife team, and loves the grace, beauty, and also challenges that birth brings. Tianna loves the spontaneous and somewhat unpredictable nature of childbirth, and always shows up to a delivery smiling, hot coffee in hand, ready to meet what comes. She loves the honor of being invited to births, and being part of a stellar midwifery team. Outside of her work here, she is a doula and photographer. She loves travel, yoga, meditation, creativity and spending time in nature. Tianna is a grad of Westminster, and was naturally attracted to birth work through her studies in psychology.

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.
