Alissa Herbert

I began my love of birth while preparing to give birth to my daughter, Madelyne, in 2006. After my son, Miles, was born in 2008, I attended my first birth as a doula in the role that would nurture my journey into midwifery. I started attending home births with Santa Barbara Midwifery as a birth assistant in 2010 and decided to become a midwife myself in 2014. I recently graduated from National Midwifery Institute and became a licensed midwife in 2018 after being lucky enough to apprentice with these amazing mentors! I am passionate about serving women and their families by giving them knowledge, confidence, love and support as they make this beautiful journey into parenthood. I feel blessed to be a part of this event in the lives of so many families with this team of amazing women. When I’m not at births, my husband, Bill, the kids, and I love to go to the beach and ride our bikes. Every now and then I get to read a book or work on a sewing project.
