Our Team

Shalmai is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and a mother of two grown boys. She was inspired to pursue out-of-hospital midwifery by watching and learning from her mother, a home birth midwife, and by the beautiful natural births of her sons.

Shalmai was trained at the National College of Midwifery and became a Tennessee Licensed Midwife in 2019. She completed her clinical education requirements with a midwifery preceptor, is certified in NRP and CPR, and holds an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from the University of New Mexico. She is passionate about helping mothers achieve their childbirth goals and is honored to work with mothers and families as they navigate through their decisions during pregnancy and birth. She has come to know so many beautiful families and looks forward to serving parents in Chattanooga and the greater Chattanooga area for years to come.

Shalmai lives in Chattanooga with her husband. She loves getting outside to enjoy nature, mucking around in the garden, having coffee dates with friends, and devouring a good book.
