Hi, we’re
Corina & Cassandra
Your Midwives!
That’s me in the center- the visionary, founder and of course, midwife, at Embrace. I’m a bit famous for my big hair, big laughs and big hugs. I am a mama, a mimi and a midwife, I want your experience at Embrace to be one of joy!
Hanna’s on the left- she has moved from the West Coast to join us at Embrace! She loves to talk birth, is convinced babies only come at night, and is our resident expert on inclusivity and recycling.
Staysha’s on the right- a midwife with 7 homebirthed babies of her own! She is a midwife on a mission- to bring diversity to midwifery and equality to the care of women of color during the childbearing year.
We believe comprehensive care should be provided with nurturing guidance for your emotions, respect for all the things that make you special, and love.
Come see how it is being done every day at Embrace.

“Bringing my son into this world via Embrace was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
“Embrace is absolutely phenomenal. I had an unplanned pregnancy, went into it as a single mom, and was absolutely terrified. Working with Corina and the whole Embrace family was such an incredible blessing and I absolutely wouldn’t change a thing.
They took the fear out of my pregnancy and helped me to actually enjoy my experience. I honestly have nothing but fond and loving memories of my entire birth experience!
Corina was attentive and intuitive and knowledgeable; hands down the most wonderful midwife and person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.”
— Emily Mitchum, Richmond VA

My Story
I’m dedicated to offering exceptional midwifery care because I know what its like to feel powerless and alone during birth.
My first birth was in South Dakota in 1985, which was like birthing in the 60s anywhere else in America because there was no cable, there was no internet, there was no nothing. You were just in this little farm town….
