In this episode of Mountain Land Physical Therapy’s pelvic health Podcast we discuss certified nurse midwives and how they assist with the pregnancy, labor, delivery and post-partum phases of a woman’s birth journey. Today’s guest today is Ashleigh Taylor, a certified professional midwife and licensed direct entry midwife. She attended the midwife college of Utah and graduated in 2021. She purchased Birth Journey in Salt Lake City, Utah February of 2022 and is the owner, operator and midwife. This episode helps to bridge two prior podcasts on topics of doctor of nurse practitioner midwives and doula’s within the spectrum of care providers for a woman in child bearing years. This episode discusses certified nurse practitioners, out of hospital births, outcomes and research associated with these interventions.
