The Michigan Midwives Association (MMA) represents a network of midwives, childbirth professionals, and students, and the spectrum of the Midwives Model of Care. We believe out-of-hospital births, attended by trained midwives, are an essential option for healthy women and their families. We support the rights of parents to make informed decisions about childbirth. The MMA supports advances in the profession of midwifery which enhance quality, community, and education among midwives, consumers, and other health care providers. The MMA is a non-profit corporation

Tami Michele D.O. Dr. Tami Michele was born in Grand Rapids, MI, and has been a Doula, Childbirth Educator, Prenatal Fitness Instructor, midwife assistant and mom of 4 children before attending medical school at MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. She is active at the State and National levels, working with organizations to improve maternity services, and to increase safety and quality in obstetrics. She was appointed by the Governor to the Michigan Board of Licensed Midwifery, and has served on the Michigan ACOG Advisory Council. She is also working to safely reduce the cesarean section rate in Michigan hospitals as an Advisory Committee member with the Obstetrics Initiative of the Michigan Value Collaborative. Her work with MI AIM has increased safe obstetrical practices in Michigan hospitals for hemorrhage and hypertension management. Tami was an invited delegate to the national Home Birth Summit where she serves on the Collaboration Task Force to promote respectful access to medical services for home birth families, and has co-authored documents used by hospitals and midwives nationally and internationally. Additionally, she is committed to educating her patients on birth options after cesarean and helping women to create their individual birth plan. She participated in developing patient and provider education modules available on a national website for women seeking advice on VBAC. Her professional focus also includes gentle cesarean with immediate skin-to-skin contact with the baby, and using a shared decision-making approach for all medical and surgical options for both obstetrics and gynecological procedures. With Advanced OB-GYN she provides consultations for evaluation and treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, surgical services, contraception, abnormal pap, well women visits, and collaborative obstetrical care with our midwifery team. When not working, Tami enjoys her grandchildren, traveling with the husband, refinishing furniture, and enjoying nature through flower gardening and being outside.

About Laurie Zoyiopoulos

CPM
Terrie Lemley, CNM Terrie became a nurse in 1983, more specifically in obstetrics in 1986. She also gave birth to her first child in 1986, having three additional children over the next 6 years. Having a positive experience breastfeeding her own children, led her to help other women accomplish their breastfeeding goals. While working as a labor and delivery nurse, it became apparent that women had few options for birthing. "There certainly must be a better way to help women birth than being in the bed and having IV fluids infused". This began her quest to become a nurse midwife. Terrie graduated from Frontier Nursing University obtaining midwifery certification in 1998 and Master of Science in Nursing from Case Western Reserve University in 1999. She has worked in hospital based practices in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Recent limitations of area hospital practices led her to start Gentle Harbor Midwifery. "A family's birth experience can impact their relationships forever. The power of birth, properly supported, can impact an entire generation; from how a mother views her own strength to how she supports others in family building" Giving this process back to the family can greatly build the next generation. Married to Jim for 30 years, they enjoy parenting still with their adult children. The family is active in their church and enjoy serving others. In spare time, Terrie also enjoys cross- stitching, reading, and football!
