Heart Science Midwifery

Midwifery is a second career for Eva. She first met and was inspired by midwives while working at the NYC Health Dept for the Bureau of Maternal and Infant Health. Soon after, she returned to graduate school in pursuit of her midwifery degree and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator along the way. While in midwifery school, she learned from her father - now retired OBGYN - that her own great grandparents in Haiti were town healers and birthworkers themselves! She feels privileged to carry the legacy of her great grandparents, and to care for people through the transformative event that is birth.

She also feels passionately about the significance of birth in the human life course - especially among historically disempowered populations, and sees her role as midwife as an opportunity to hold space for empowering birthers and families. As a person who has had 3 births under the care of midwives, she’s experienced the magnitude of this transformation firsthand. She was born in Mexico and speaks fluent Spanish and mediocre Haitian Kreyol. When not midwifing, she enjoy hobbying with her children, spending time with her family in her multigenerational home in Brooklyn, and exploring delicious NYC food spots with her midwife partners at Heart Science Midwifery!

Mother Ocean Midwifery

I am an Afro-Caribbean Afro-Latinx licensed Certified Nurse Midwife of Panamanian and Jamaican descent. I see Midwifery as my calling. I was called to do this work after the birth of my Godson, whose birth was attended by a Midwife nearly 10 years ago. I earned my Masters of Science in Nurse Midwifery from Columbia University School of Nursing in October 2016. I have been practicing as a full-scope Midwife in NYC since 2016. I am also an instructor in the current Graduate Midwifery Program at Columbia. I am passionate about educating more culturally competent full-scope midwives. Over the years, I have learned that, if we are intentional, we can work to combat the racial and ethnic disparities in maternal morbidity and
mortality. This is my impetus for starting Mother Ocean Midwifery providing homebirth midwifery
services.
Mother Ocean Midwifery pays homage to Yemayá. Yemayá is an Orisha, the Yoruba goddess of
the ocean and pregnant women. She is recognized in Candomblé and Santeria folk religions in
Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latinx cultures as well. She is the Orisha of fertility as well as bodies of
water. Her domain is all waters, including the bag of water inside of the womb. Yemayá is called
upon by pregnant wombmen for safety. She is the protector of wombmen and the ruler of
fertility, childbirth and healing. Yemayá protects the mother and her child and ensures a safe
birth.

MonDèsir Mondesir

My calling to birth work began over 25 years ago with the birth of my own child. Feeling completely disempowered with routine obstetric led care I was encouraged to seek out the care of a midwife, I am forever grateful to have followed this route. I feel a sense of duty as a human being to help other women have births as lovely as, if not more amazing than my own!
So in 2012 I obtained my Masters of Science in Midwifery from SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
Over the past 10 years working as a midwife I have only fallen deeper in love with birth, with the  miracle of creating life and with the majestic forces that are present when a woman is birthing.
I’ve learned that the best way to achieve a natural birth is to create an alkaline body state, to clear the mind of any fear and self doubt, to be reverent of nature and to practice gratitude which encourages harmony with the universe. I absolutely enjoy teaching women that are ready to take an active approach to manifesting the birth experiences that they desire. 
My soul and spirit are aligned to help women birth, this work is my life's blood.

Heart Science Midwifery

Kateryn has wanted to be a midwife since she was 17 years old. At the time, learning about midwifery felt like lifting a veil to a well-kept secret. It felt like magic. But true to the nature of callings, with time she has come to fully understand why she has always been destined to be with women.
Growing up as an Afro-Latina immigrant in the Bronx, from a big family of mostly women, Kateryn was surrounded in the power and resilience of women. So it was natural for her to become a midwife because midwifery is knowing women, being in awe of them, and passionately fighting against all the forces that threaten them.

Nur Midwifery 

The role a midwife holds in the community, empowering each family, despite our differences offers a unique yet incredibly powerful opportunity to plant seeds of change, provide respectful care and bring babies into this world gently and peacefully. This was my calling to midwifery. I first became a labor and delivery nurse and a doula, caring for high-risk women and families in New York City. I graduated from the midwifery program at New York University and began attending births and providing well-woman care at home. My role as the midwife is to allow for the physiological process of pregnancy and birth and to be aware of the mother and baby's health and well-being throughout the process and to also address any possible anxiety or fears that may arise before, during and after labor and birth.  Pregnancy and birth can be a time of vulnerability and an opportunity to have a relationship with women and families through the year of pregnancy, birth and postpartum, offering empowerment through respectful shared decision making about health and well-being of mothers and babies.

I always knew I wanted to work with women and babies since 4 years old, but in the Summer of 2013 I fell in love with midwifery and started on the journey. I have since then attended Midwives College of Utah to become a Certified Professional Midwife, become a Birth doula, lived in Guatemala for 3 months serving at birth centers outside of the capital and in the mountains with the indigenous midwives. I moved back to New York and had to complete a Master’s in Midwifery to be licensed here and so that’s what I did!

​I have a deep passion for my community which is demonstrated through my work thus far with SuperMamma Birth Services. From public speaking on women’s health topics, to education for mammas and partners, to Community Baby Showers, advocacy work with the Birth Justice Defenders, and contributing to research for improvement of fetal and maternal health.


I believe that midwifery honors the beautiful dance between mind, body and soul. An incredible collision of science and poetry. Midwifery is my heart and soul!

During that time she completed her masters in midwifery and graduated from SUNY Downstate with honors.  
Julia’s interest in midwifery started at the age of 17 when she shadowed a home birth midwife for a year and realized midwifery was her passion. She then went on to become a doula, and to work as a birth assistant for homebirth midwives alongside nursing. Through all of these experiences, she gained an appreciation for the intimate interaction a birthing person has with their midwife, the necessity to develop a trusting relationship between client and provider and to advocate for people to be able to birth in the comfort of their own space and on their own terms. Julia believes in respectful evidence based care, and the importance of informed consent and shared decision making. She strives to provide individualized and safe care tailored to the specific needs of each birthing person, and aims to diversify birthing options by increasing access to out of hospital birth for expecting families. She is BLS, ACLS and NRP certified with hands on experience in neonatal resuscitation. SHe works alongside Judy, Rachel, & Malki at Holistic Midwifery New York.
