MEET THE BIRTHWISE TEAM

Sara Hansman

LM / CPM

I have been a practicing licensed midwife since 2017 and am the co-owner of BirthWise. I have had the immense privilege of serving as a primary provider at countless births, each one a unique and cherished experience.
I hold certification in aromatherapy for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I am delighted to incorporate essential oils into your care. As a mother of four children, each with their unique birth stories, I have experienced a c-section and three VBACs, two of which occurred in my home. I recognize the importance of being informed, empowered, and supported in making choices during this transformative journey.  I am grateful for the opportunity to practice evidence-based care and utilize shared decision-making while providing a safe and respectful environment for all birthing individuals.

LM / CPM

I’m Gina, and I’m excited to be part of the team here at BirthWise! After earning my CPM credential in 2020, I began my journey as a licensed midwife, drawn to the profession by a deep-seated passion for supporting mothers and their families. Joining BirthWise, I was eager to be part of a team that not only provides exceptional care to our clients but also supports each other in our shared mission. This is the profession I was destined for; I look forward to every single day I spend at “work” and can’t imagine being anywhere else.

I am a proud mom to three incredible sons. Embracing motherhood myself has been a transformative experience, deepening my empathy and commitment to the mothers I support. I look forward to helping guide more families in their unique journeys!

STUDENT MIDWIFE / DOULA

Not too long ago, I chose BirthWise for the arrival of my two beautiful babies, embarking on a journey that would forever change my life. My incredible experiences led me down a path filled with purpose and dedication.
Over the past years, as a birth assistant, I have been part of the BirthWise team, offering support and care to many families during their most precious moments. I have become a sought-after doula in the community and teach comprehensive childbirth education classes. My commitment and love for what I do has deepened, inspiring me to take the next step in my career.
Today, I am thrilled to be a student midwife with BirthWise, well on my way to achieving my dream of becoming a midwife. I look forward to meeting you!

Jill Coulter

LM / CPM / Administrator

For over two decades, I’ve been privileged to serve as a licensed midwife in our community, welcoming countless babies into their families’ lives. In 2019, my colleague Sara and I formed a partnership practice, blending our unique personalities and expertise to provide even better care for families.

Today, my journey has taken a new direction as I’ve transitioned into primarily an administrative role at BirthWise. Although my day-to-day activities have shifted, I continue to cherish every opportunity for attending a birth. In this new role, I am committed to empowering women and families, ensuring their journey into parenthood is as enriching and fulfilling as possible. This shift allows me to broaden my impact, and support BirthWise ,as well as our community, in a new and meaningful way.
