Hello! My name is Meghan Nowland. I am the founder of the Cincinnati Birth Center (CBC) serving the Cincinnati area, licensed in Ohio, and, as of 2020, the first licensed Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) in the state of Kentucky. I am a highly experienced midwife, doula, and lactation consultant. I and the entire CBC team have a goal to serve all members of the community equally no matter who they are or where they come from. I have a bachelor’s degree in midwifery from the Midwives College of Utah and founded the Ohio chapter of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM). I volunteer to teach childbirth education classes for the community and Kentucky Home Birth Coalition. In 2017 I became certified as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Most of all, I care deeply about my clients and bring a calming and uplifting energy to my practice.

My journey into midwifery started with the birth of my first child Oliana who was born by cesarean after planning a homebirth. That birth left me excited to be a mother but also confused about healing and breastfeeding. I had a lot of support in the postpartum including from our local ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) chapter. Community was important in healing and building me up as a mother during my early parenting years and community is what drives me today. In 2009 I attended Birthing From Within training in Austin learning the art of mentoring new parents through the childbearing year. My youngest child Silas was born at home in 2011, I stepped back from birth work during my pregnancy and the years after he was born. I found I needed a lot of quiet contemplation during this time and he needed a lot of time with me. In 2014 I attended toLabor doula and activist training and started a midwifery apprenticeship with CHOICE. In 2018 I became a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) specialized in out of hospital birth. I live in Columbus with my two children. We have a thriving backyard garden and are into composting and sustainable growing practices. I’m an avid reader and researcher. I try to keep up with current research around the pregnancy year and take multiple trainings a year to broaden my knowledge base. I support clients seeking homebirth and monitrice care in the Columbus, Ohio metro area and offer online coaching sessions to people who live outside of my radius of roughly an hour. I have a special interest in families planning a VBAC and HBAC (Vaginal/Home Birth After Cesarean). I am an Army veteran serving 4 years on active duty in Germany and 3 years in the reserves in Columbus. I have an undergraduate degree from Ohio State in Political Science and Women’s Studies (now Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies).

I am an empirical homebirth midwife serving most of Southern OH for 2 decades. I am also a monitrice, doula, childbirth educator, & author.
