WILLOW BIRTH SERVICES
Brandy Harris, Midwife
She/Her
Brandy’s goal is to provide those she serves with warm, family-centered, evidence-based care. Brandy believes that pregnancy, labor, birth and breastfeeding are physiological events and a part of the natural & beautiful moments in life that can be enriched with exceptional prenatal care, the education you desire, support and the right care team.
Brandy feels strongly that each pregnancy and birth is unique to each person and should be treated as such. Brandy believes that all babies are whole, conscious, feeling, beings and should be treated gently, with love and consideration before, during and after their birth and, in the absence of special circumstances, that birth, if left to unfold in its own time, happens the way that nature has designed; perfectly. Brandy is also a founder and co-owner of the Oklahoma City Birth Center.
LITTLE HOLLOW MIDWIFERY
Kennedy Logan, LM, CPM
They, them-she, her
Kennedy's journey into midwifery began in 2015 when they attended a home birth. They were completely awestruck by the power of birth, and the space held by the midwife. They began their formal midwifery training in 2019 at Birthwise Midwifery School in Bridgton Maine. In 2021, they moved to Boston to work with a busy home birth practice serving the metro area. In Boston, Kennedy was able to provide care for diverse families and family structures. They graduated from midwifery school in May 2022, and gained their CPM shortly after. After moving back home to Oklahoma in August of 2022, Kennedy became a licensed midwife in Oklahoma.
Kennedy’s goal is to allow their clients to feel safe, seen, and supported during their care. They value relationship building during care so that clients are able to be their authentic selves. Kennedy believes that pregnancy and birth can be transformative physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and hopes to create a supportive environment for all their clients. Care with Kennedy is collaborative; they utilize evidence while also valuing the lived experiences of their clients to develop a care plan that is individual for each of their clients.
