Support Devon's Journey to Midwifery

— Support Devon’s Midwifery Journey

Hi friends and community,

As many of you know, I have the privilege of teaching and raising up the next generation of midwives as a midwifery preceptor. I am currently precepting a remarkable student Devon Tracy. She is a dedicated, compassionate woman who has been working hard to learn and answer her calling to become a midwife. 

Devon is a married mother of two, and she’s one of the most hardworking and teachable students I’ve had the honor of working with. She shows up with humility, drive, and a genuine heart to serve our clients and their families in their most vulnerable and powerful moments. Midwifery isn’t just a goal for her—it’s a calling, and she’s answering it with her whole heart (and butt!).

It has been such a gift to guide her and witness her bloom into a caring, competent provider and to work alongside each other. I’ve been so grateful to my midwifery clients who eagerly welcome her into their pregnancy journey, birth spaces, and postpartum healing. I am beyond excited to have Devon continue providing care as a midwife under my practice. It will mean such good things for all of us, myself and clients! Extended eyes and hands, in a thoughtful and cohesive team. 

As mentioned, midwifery isn’t just a career choice, it’s a calling that often comes at a sacrifice. Lost sleep, lost time with our families, at times secondary trauma. It is also incredibly fulfilling and holywork to serve and pour out into those we’ve been called to come alongside in their journey of pregnancy, miscarriages, infertility, and well-person care. 

The path to becoming a midwife is demanding—both in time and cost. Between clinical requirements, courses, exam fees, and necessary supplies, the cost adds up quickly. Devon is juggling it all with grace and grit, and I’d love for the communities that love her to come together and support her as she enters the final stretch of her training. 

We’re raising $5,000 to help cover her costs and keep her moving forward on this important journey. This isn’t just a donation—it’s a chance to invest in the future of midwifery and in a woman who is absolutely making a huge difference in our community and this will help her continue to do so without extra burden to her family. 

Every gift, large or small will make an impact. Thank you for believing in Devon and celebrating her with me!

With love and gratitude,
