A Midwife's Story

Meet Brooke Ray

Brooke’s path to midwifery began with the homebirths of her own children. They sparked in her a passion for guarding the sacredness of birth that still burns in her today.

After the births of her own three children she became a doula, a childbirth educator and a midwife’s apprentice. As her children grew she went to Nursing School to become a Registered Nurse and then earned a Master’s Degree in Midwifery from UCSF.  Her first job as a Certified Nurse Midwife was at the UCSD Birth Center. She worked there for six years before starting her own homebirth practice. Homebirth was her original inspiration and continues to be her favorite setting for childbirth.

Throughout her career she has been committed to making homebirth more accessible for all and has worked hard to meet the requirements to contract with MediCal and Tricare.
