Brynea's path to midwifery started in high school, when she met a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner who left a lasting impression. After high school, she headed south to escape the cold, earning her nursing degree at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma -- where she also met her husband, James. As a new nurse, she worked alongside a group of nurse-midwives whose approach to labor and birth care changed everything for her. Brynea went on to earn her midwifery degree from Frontier Nursing University in 2014, bringing over six years of nursing experience in maternal/newborn and labor and delivery, with a specialty in high-risk obstetrics. Her clinical journey spans hospitals across Oklahoma, Virginia, and the Washington, D.C. area, including Hillcrest Medical Center, Georgetown University Hospital, and Sibley Memorial Hospital. Brynea has also volunteered on medical mission trips to Uganda and Mexico -- experiences that deepened her belief that every woman, regardless of circumstance, deserves attentive, respectful care during birth.
