We are a two-midwife team, serving Bucks and Lehigh counties (and surrounding areas).


  • Orefield Office

    I’m Allison (Allie) - Community Midwife, mama to two, married to my best friend, living on the Blue Mountain just below the Appalachian trail.

    My path to birth work began shortly after the birth of my first baby in 2015. Having experienced firsthand the disconnect and mistreatment that often permeates standard obstetric care- I felt the call to support women in reclaiming their experiences. First, as a doula in all birth settings, then as a midwife assistant, before taking the plunge into midwifery school and apprenticeship.

    I believe that birth is a Rite of Passage- a sacred initiation that lays the foundation forward. It informs how we view ourselves as women, how we mother our children, and how we show up in our communities.

    “If we want to change the world, we must first change the way the babies are being born” - Michael Odent"

    It is truly my soul’s calling to support women in coming home to their innate wisdom, birthing their babies in power, and divesting from systems that cause harm and mistrust in our bodies.


  • Quakertown Office

    I’m Brooke! I reside in beautiful Upper Bucks County. I am a mom to two amazing children, a wife to my greatest supporter, and, best of all, part of a family of great love. They are the core of my birth work, helping me protect and support this transformative time for a woman and her expanding role and family.

    I came to birth work in my journey to parenthood in 2013, approaching pregnancy and birth with desires that didn’t fit into the standard medical model.  The journey continued into parenting, finding natural parenting and alternative education for my children. 

    A saying that holds true to me (from my midwife), “You birth how you live.”

    My role in birth work started in 2016, evolving from a busy birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, to a home birth midwife assistant and now a traditional midwife. 

    I am an open book, as transparent as they come, and happy to help you determine whether we are a good fit. I am always excited to learn about your unique journey to pregnancy and parenthood. This transition is monumental and deserves nothing but kindness, respectful care, and loving support, which I am honored to provide.

Meet our support team

  • Midwife Assistant

    I am a holistic birth doula and birth photographer, serving the Lehigh Valley, where I live with my husband and our two daughters. With a background in trauma-informed social work, I’ve spent my career empowering women to reclaim their strength and voice.

    Since entering motherhood and experiencing two vastly different natural births, I felt a clear call to help others pursue the birth they desire. It is a joy to walk alongside mothers and empower them to confidently walk in sovereignty over their pregnancy and birth.

    My passion for birthwork continues to deepen as I expand my knowledge and skills, now pursuing training as a midwifery assistant, with the intention of one day becoming a home birth midwife.

    I am honored to be part of each family’s unique birth journey, offering unwavering support every step of the way.

  • Administrative support

    Hi! I’m Leigh! I am currently working with Malachite Midwifery to support administrative needs and I am hoping to explore doula work in the near future to widen my perspective and deepen my knowledge as a future prenatal and postpartum support for mothers and families. This is an incredible team to be a part of while navigating any kind of birth work. It has been such a treat for my soul so far.

    I met Brooke through my first pregnancy as she was my home birth midwife, and Allie was her assistant midwife for my delivery. The role that Brooke and Allie have played in fostering informed care/consent, educating, and advocating for mothers and informed decision-making started a fire in my heart to join this world of birth work. 

    While I am a certified Occupational Therapy Practitioner currently working in school-based pediatric settings, I hope to one day use my OT background to offer a unique perspective on this chapter in life by supporting the family unit and all of the everyday activities involved in the shift of a growing family as a doula.
