Robina Khalid, LM, CM, PhDSmall Things Grow MidwiferySmall Things Grow Midwifery, founded by Robina Khalid (LM/PhD), offers compassionate, inclusive, full-spectrum midwifery care to the unique individuals and families of NYC/Lenapehoking.
Robina is a Licensed Midwife who grew up with her feet on two continents, reading books on Brooklyn stoops and running through rainstorms on Lahore rooftops. After a career in academia and activism, she was awarded a Master's in Midwifery with top honors from SUNY Downstate in 2015. From there she worked in a high volume public hospital where she cared for hundreds of individuals and families diverse in race, class, ethnicity, and gender expression and passionately advocated for their sense of autonomy while facilitating the safe and loving births of their babies. Her homebirth practice, founded in 2017, provides affirming, laughter-filled, high-touch care in a rushed, high-tech world. Her goal is to center your joy, resilience, and sense of power in the sacred experiences of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. She is trauma informed and a health at any size provider. Robina is motivated by the belief that midwifery care is a key part of the solution to the United States' health care disparities, a problem rooted in the systemic racism and sexism that have existed in our country since its founding.

Holistic Midwifery New YorkHOLISTIC MIDWIFERY NEW YORK
As a home-birther mother to three children, I couldn't see myself in any other professional role other than as a home birth midwife. To me, childbirth is a transformative and precious life experience - one that is forever embedded in both mother and baby’s consciousness. The value of a peaceful, empowering birth cannot ever truly be measured. It is a lifelong gift. Holistic Midwifery New York is founded on the deep trust that a woman’s body and the natural process are inherently self-sufficient and exquisitely wise. We honor nature’s design and humble ourselves to its process. The practice is a sanctuary for women seeking authentically holistic care, including an integration of conventional, cutting edge midwifery research with traditional, ancestrally accumulated midwifery wisdom. As warranted, Western Medicine and pharmaceuticals are not a first and only resort, and are utilized with utmost caution and responsibility. Judy Ribner, DNP, CNM graduated first in her class from NYU with her clinical doctorate. In recognition of Judy’s longstanding, stellar academic achievement, she has been awarded The National Merit Scholarship, NYS Scholarship of Academic Excellence, Robert Byrd Scholarship, CUNY Merit Scholarship, Susan Kun Leddy Scholarship, Rory Meyers Academic Scholarship, and NYU Social Justice Scholarship. Her writing and public speaking has been featured in Headlines and Midwifery Today. |

Jenna Hutchens, LM, CNM, FNP-CCosmos MidwiferyJenna has been passionate about reproductive health for as long as she can remember. She has been involved in several grassroots collectives that focused on reproductive rights, self-care and education. After the birth of her daughter at home she had a private postpartum and labor doula practice for 13 years, and eventually decided to pursue nurse midwifery. After earning her nursing degree in 2007, she honed her clinical skills during 5 years as an ER nurse at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. During this period, she became certified as a SAFE examiner, providing care and guiding sexual assault victims through the emotionally challenging evidence collection process.
Before embarking on her midwifery education, Jenna worked for over a year as an assistant to a homebirth midwife, where she gained practical experience in a model of care that was close to her heart. She began her studies at Frontier Nursing University in 2013 where she completed her masters degree and attained dual certification as a family nurse practitioner and a midwife. In 2018 Jenna joined Connecticut Childbirth and Women’s Center as a staff midwife; the Center’s midwives attended pregnant people in a freestanding birth center and in the hospital, a fruitful situation to develop skill at co-managing complex situations. Her family nurse practitioner certification allows her to provide holistic care to people at all stages of life. In 2021, Jenna felt pulled to come back to live full-time in her East Village home. She is so excited to join Cosmos Midwifery to offer her skills and compassion in support of families who have chosen to give birth at home. |
