Rooted in Care, Growing Toward Change
Haven Midwifery Collective was founded by Trinisha Williams from a vision of equity, community, and compassionate care.
Haven Midwifery Collective is a practice run by certified midwives and encompasses a full range of primary health care services for women from adolescence beyond menopause.
The mission of Haven Midwifery Collective is to provide evidence-based safe, respectable care to pregnant and non-pregnant individuals by providing options and promoting optimal health.
We’re planting the seeds for a sustainable birth center that uplifts every birthing person and family.

Where Justice Takes Root
Haven stands for birth equity. That means ensuring every birthing person, especially those from marginalized communities, can access safe, holistic, and empowering care.
Growth takes time. Together, we’re creating space for it to bloom.
— Haven Midwifery Collective
HMC is part of the Birth justice movement led by Black people and people of color that seeks to recognize those inequalities and empower people in these communities in the pregnancy and birthing process. The birth justice movement works to safeguard the rights of birthing people to make decisions around their pregnancies, including seeking abortions and having children in safe and supportive environments. We believe the birth center model will support the care demanded by the community.
Birth Justice is a movement that believes when birthing people recognize their innate power to make the best health decisions for themselves and their families during all stages of the pregnancy, birth, and the post-birth period, that power will have a transformational impact on their family and community.
We hope to decolonize birth by utilizing the birth center model led by midwives. Decolonization is about “cultural, psychological, and economic freedom” for Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) to achieve racial and social justice and equity– the right and ability of BIPOC people to practice self-determination over their bodies, minds, land, cultures, families, communities, and political and economic systems. Colonialism is a historical and ongoing global phenomenon where settlers continue to occupy land, dictate social, political, and economic systems, and exploit BIPOC people and their resources. It is a global infection that has a planetary impact and has destabilized and/or erased entire communities and cultures.
We acknowledge the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Improve Maternal Health – Call to Action Maternal Health
