As a midwife since 2010 and birth center owner, it’s not easy to find someone to consult with - who understands the big picture - nationally and practically / professionally. Ginger does. Absolutely helpful and I plan to come back for more. Highly recommend!

I would not enter contract negotiations without the consultation from Grow Midwives. Ginger and her team are THE ones that know the business of midwifery. They provide such valuable resources for us and the feedback they have offered me through two midwife contracts has been tremendously helpful, purposeful, and actionable. Well worth the cost! You will not find anyone else with this type of business and legal knowledge. Highly recommend. And they are so prompt as well. Thank you for your guidance. I am so grateful you all are doing this work for us!

I have worked with Grow Midwives in many capacities over the past six years, and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Ginger was an incredible resource when I was a novice midwife working in a group practice, and she has remained a trusted mentor and positive influence throughout my professional growth. She is a passionate advocate for both the midwifery profession and the midwives she serves. Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with Arden as I’ve built my own private practice. That investment has been invaluable. I can honestly say that Grow Midwives has been one of the biggest factors in the success of my business. Arden brings a wealth of knowledge, practical experience, and an unwavering commitment to helping midwives bridge the gaps that often exist when starting a private practice. Her guidance has given me the confidence and tools to build a practice I’m proud of. If you’re considering working with Grow Midwives, I cannot recommend them highly enough. You won’t regret it.

I spoke to Ginger for an introduction call as a nurse-midwife looking to build a position at my local clinic, and she was very knowledgable, accessible, and friendly. I am so grateful this organization exists to support and mentor midwives around the country. I am looking forward to learning more about Grow Midwives and utilizing their services!

I absolutely loved working with Grow Midwives! I’ve worked with them twice—once for contract renegotiations and again while transitioning into hormone replacement care—and both experiences were truly empowering. They know what data to gather, what to ask for, and how to clearly tell your story as a midwife. Their expertise, practical guidance, and coaching gave me the confidence to advocate for myself and take meaningful next steps in my career. I can’t recommend them enough to any midwife looking for better compensation, work–life balance, and fulfillment.

As the owner of a multiple midwife home birth practice, I find support and counsel difficult to come by since this is not a common business or practice model. Being able to work with Ginger gave me incredible perspective, insight, and actionable step to take for my practice to continue to thrive. She is a wealth of knowledge and expertise having been a midwife for many years in vastly different settings and roles. I am extremely grateful for her support and encouragement. I strongly recommend midwives needing support at any level to connect with Ginger and her team!

I recently had the chance to speak with Ginger Breedlove and was so grateful for her time and insight! I’ve also heard her speak at conferences over the years, and she really is incredibly knowledgeable and a true advocate for the midwifery role. She helped me think through a complex scope and practice question with clarity and real-world perspective. Grow Midwives is doing important, grounded work for the midwifery community, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful guidance rooted in experience. Thank you again Ginger!

Ginger and her team are fantastic. They are fierce advocates not only for women's health and safe, healthy birthing experiences, they are sentinels for a major agent of that experience; Midwives. Their organization has given me guidance as a new grad where I was aimless and uncertain, and they have pointed me to important connections in the community and abroad that make Midwife voices heard as part of the equation for addressing our country's maternal health care crisis. Almost overnight they became more than just consultants for me, they became mentors and friends. They're helping me to see my worth as a CNM and to grow my voice to advocate that worth for others. I cannot overstate how much I recommend these guys, whether you're a new grand CNM/CM looking to get their start like me, or you're hoping to start or grow a practice, birthing center, or something more complex. They are a hub for everything midwife and you should have them on your radar if midwifery, or any field near it is in your future. Thank you for everything, guys!

I have been a CNM for 30 some odd years. I am not business savvy, at all. I recently found a new job, after being with an employer for 12 years....and Grow Midwives has been invaluable in helping me navigate this journey. I have found my true value and worth, thanks to Ginger. Very professional, very honest , the reviews and counseling are a great help. I HIGHLY recommend this service for ALL CNMs, especially if you are not business or legal knowledable, and especially if you are a new CNM just getting into healthcare. It is a business. You need to know your worth.
