      The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Mindful Midwifery at 3:30pm on Thursday, July 28th, 2022. The event was held at Mindful Midwifery at 254 Camden-Wyoming Ave. in Camden. Chamber members and friends joined owner and founder, Katie O’Brien, to celebrate the Grand Opening of her new business, Mindful Midwifery!

      Mindful Midwifery offers midwife taught classes in women’s health issues across the lifespan. They are opening with prenatal classes, childbirth classes, support person classes and sibling celebration classes to begin serving families looking to start their parental journey with all the information and resources they need. Later this year, Mindful Midwifery will be adding gynecologic topics for preteens through menopausal women. O’Brien makes it clear to the public that these classes are not meant to replace traditional healthcare but rather to supplement this care with provider-level health education so that women may be able to better advocate for themselves in their health journey. 

      Mindful Midwifery’s goal is to merge the information gap between whole body wellness and clinical healthcare. Since our society has become continuously more online-based, O’Brien acknowledges the loss of sense of community in the process. Mindful Midwifery is taking back the power that lies in face-to-face connections with others of similar life experiences. What makes Mindful Midwifery different is that the education is coming from a provider, so it is up to date with current healthcare practices by certified clinicians. The classes at Mindful Midwifery will allow women to learn the full range of options they have in their health needs and use the knowledge to make their visits with their providers more productive.

      O’Brien and her team are passionate about three things: empowering women to advocate for themselves in their health journeys, educating women and their families in women’s health topics, and forming community connections.
