Supporting Midwives
And
Those Seeking Midwifery Care
Welcome to Mindful Midwifery! Mindful Midwifery’s business model is shifting and our website is under construction during this process! Katie O’Brien has been happy to serve women individually in the Dover, Delaware area for care and classes but now she is turning to supporting midwifery on a broader scale. We are working hard to launch our podcast in December and will keep updating this page with information on that! Suggestions of local resources for prenatal care and classes can be found in the local resource box below.
Meet Katie
Hi, I am Katie O’Brien. I am a certified nurse midwife practicing in Dover, DE. I graduated from Georgetown University in 2007 and started delivering babies and caring for women and their families right away. Three very different practice models and hundreds (if not a 1000+) babies later I opened Mindful Midwifery. I have always loved teaching and empowering women in their healthcare journey and believe it is the heart of midwifery.
Your Care Reimagined
No two pregnancies are exactly the same. No two puberty experiences are exactly the same. So why would you want your care or education to be generic? Mindful Midwifery’s services ranging from membership-based prenatal and postpartum care to puberty classes are catered to your individual needs. Learn more below.
What The Podcast Episodes Have to Offer
These classes are very informational but also very personable. Katie makes you feel heard and understood. She is such a great midwife, in general, and to have these classes available locally, taught by her, is amazing. She answered all the questions I had (even though they weren’t related lol). Plus, she gives you the reason behind a lot of questions you have. I highly recommend Katie and her classes! She is the best in the business.

Katie’s class was so helpful. I had my first child during COVID, so I missed out on a lot of educational experiences. The class allowed me to learn so much that I wish I had known the first time around. I can’t wait to attend her postpartum classes once our baby has arrived!

Walking into Mindful Midwifery is such a calming atmosphere and peaceful place to be. It is a comfy and cozy space to have a class and learn. Very professional, clean and she is so kind with providing refreshments. Love it very much!

Consultation Services
Sometimes we need to be “midwifed” through an event in our career. Whether you are new to the midwifery profession, thinking about becoming a midwife or going through an obstetric lawsuit it can help to talk with a peer. Whether by zoom or in-person, I can help you to navigate the career situation you are going through. I have spent over six years as a lead midwife and know that peer support can be invaluable.
