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.

Ginger Breedlove and GrowMidwives has changed my professional life. I have "known of her "and have now come to "know her" for many years now and in various capacities. Ginger provided top notch leadership as a past president of ACNM and has always been a leading voice of midwifery. I have accessed career coaching, resume review, asked countless questions about midwifery and the law as well of medical staff credentialing, and now our organization is using their consulting firm to reopen our birth center in Massachusetts. She is always positive and purposeful in her responses. Her team is knowledgeable, kind, professional and really cares about the individual midwife and the midwifery profession. Their combined experience of 70 years doesn't even touch the depth of their knowledge. I recommend them often, if a midwife or a midwife practice needs help, Call Ginger. I am grateful to her and her team for leading all of us and for asking us to think deeply and with purpose and to see POSSIBILITIES where we usually see barriers.

There comes a point in the life of many midwives when we scream for Ginger. I honestly don't know what midwives did before Ginger drew a line in the sand and said, "You shall not pass". I am lucky enough to have matured into the midwifery craft knowing that if I were ever pushed against the wall, I had access to this sparkling magic wand called Grow Midwives. And when the moment came, the secret magic wand was there. It was accessible, it was powerful, and - like it had for so many midwives before me - it saved me. Without a shadow of a doubt, it was Ginger's willingness to put herself forward, to tirelessly work on behalf of midwifery, to relentlessly keep pushing where others would have long ago given up, which resulted in my ability to keep working and making a difference in my small world. And for that, my friends, I shall remain thankful.

Fantastic service. I have not received such detailed feedback on anything else in my professional career as I got from the contract review service through Grow Midwives.
