Find a Midwife Near Me in Flint, MI

Hi, my name is Tara O'Neill, and I'm a certified professional midwife licensed in the state of Michigan. I believe that the role of a midwife is to provide informed, supportive, and attentive care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In our practice, we recognize that each person and family is different and work to ensure that the care we provide meets the needs of each individual. We are committed to preserving client autonomy, and to ensuring that each client’s needs are met and that they are truly heard. In my free time, I enjoy spending time exploring the wonderful state of Michigan, reading, and spending time with loved ones.
