Meet Our Birth Workers

Service area is Primarily Macomb County, but I will travel within 1 hour for lactation support.

I am a Christian mom of 2 great kids! I believe our bodies were beautifully designed by God and my passion is educating families on how to work with that design to achieve a positive birth experience. I've been a childbirth educator for 11 years and a CLC for 6 years. I strive to show the love of Jesus through my work in birth education and support

Hello!  I’m Chris Borowski and I am a Certified Nurse Midwife.  I work with an amazing group of women at Women First OB GYN in Royal Oak, Michigan. I am affiliated with Corewell Royal Oak Beaumont and Karmanos Center for Natural Birth.  I was a Labor & Delivery RN for 18 years before becoming a CNM in 2011.

I am passionate about caring for women in every stage of their life.  I especially love taking care of pregnant mommas. I am well versed in all of the labor methods and an expert in Spinning Babies.  I have been a part of thousands of births since 1995 and love everything birth related.

I am passionate about my faith.  I became a Christian and dedicated my life to Jesus at 22 years old.  Becoming a nurse and then a Nurse Midwife as my life calling!  Patience and kindness, and praying everyday on my way to the office or hospital is my labor of love.

I am married (about to celebrate 30 yrs) and have 3 children who are all in their 20’s. 

I love spending time with my family & friends, good food, Christian music, beaches, sunrises and sunsets!

For the past 14yrs I have had the privilege of working with families during the most transformative time of their lives. It has been an honor to be welcomed into this space. 

Over the years I have held many roles in the birth community serving as a Doula, Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, Birth Assistant, Herbalist, and traditional Midwifery Student. During this season of life I am focusing on offering in-home Lactation Consulting to families in South East Michigan and the thumb area. I believe that offering on-going, compassionate, holistic care to postpartum families can help bridge the gap to thriving future generations.

Hi I am Ashlyn. I am a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). I have been a midwife for almost 5 years and recently moved back to Michigan from Texas with the birth of my third baby to be close to my family.

I have trained both in hospital and out of hospital as a CNM, however felt lead to focus my practice within the birth center model of care while in Texas. When I moved back to Michigan I originally had a job offer I accepted with McLaren Hospital. However,  after a lot of prayer  in my downtime postpartum, I felt God leading me in a different direction to open my own practice and this is when Rooted Wellness and Birth was born. It is my goal to always be Rooted in Christ’s Love: it is the foundation of my practice; guiding every interaction and decision I make when providing care.

I have a love for encouraging and supporting women through all stages of life to empower strong, confident women in their reproductive years and beyond.  I love watching families grow through pregnancy and birth and coming out confident in their gifts as parents.  I also have a passion for providing preconception and well-woman care that is integrative, to help women find healing through both conventional and alternative treatment options.

I am a LM CPM serving my community as a home birth midwife as well as the owner of the village birth house, a freestanding birth center in Fowlerville, Mi. I began attending births as a doula in 2013 as an anthropology student and quickly fell in love with the community, autonomy and tradition that is the pulse of midwifery. I opened my practice, Michigan Midwifery Co, in 2021 and opened the birth house in 2023. My passions for teaching, herbalism, community and family shine through in my practice. The birth house serves as a hub for growing families with; classes, support groups, a midwifery practice, an IBCLC practice, student and birth worker trainings, baby carrier lending library, community closet, and networking events.
