ABOUT ABOUT HAYLEY OAKES, LM, CPM
Hayley began her four-year midwifery training at the National Midwifery Institute in 2011. Shortly thereafter, she had the wonderful opportunity to train with Ina May Gaskin and the midwives at The Farm in Summertown, Tennessee.
Hayley Oakes has been attending births since 2010 as a doula, midwife assistant, apprentice and licensed midwife, witnessing and supporting birth in all settings: home, birth center and hospital. She has also worked as a childbirth educator and guest speaker for a number of educational institutions.
As of February 2019, Hayley became a mother herself. She resides in Highland Park, CA with her husband and daughter.
As a midwife, educator and new mother, she is committed to supporting childbearing folks in having a safe and satisfying pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience to help grow healthy happy babies.
ABOUT MOLLY LANDOLT
Molly is a certified birth doula and lactation counselor. She is also a Reiki I energy healer and acupressurist. As a birth worker she noticed a severance between the self and higher wisdom, with many women relying on empirical data to validate their intuition. This spurred a passion to help women understand their bodies, unearth their intuitive listening, and heal energetically. Molly lives and works in Washington DC.
ABOUT MISTY GANT
Misty is a certified birth and postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor. She is also trained in Spinning Babies and as a newborn care specialist. She also is an integrative wellness practitioner with a particular interest in herbal medicine.
Her own experience in navigating infertility along with supporting numerous births, and witnessing the lack of care within those medical settings, spurred her on to build a space where women are held, lifted up and empowered to cross the threshold into motherhood on their own terms.
Misty splits her time between Auckland, NZ and Brooklyn, NY. She is the founder of Bija.
