Home birth midwife in the East Bay?
Hi all,
I have 2 questions: I would really like to work with Michelle Wellborn as a midwife but she is not responding to emails/calls. Does anyone know if she's currently working?
And second, I am looking for home birth midwife recommendations, someone seasoned and preferably middle aged+
Thanks!

I don't know anything about Michelle Wellborn but I worked with Ellen Levitt at https://www.wombservicemidwifery.com/ and had a wonderful experience. She meets both your criteria and caught my postpartum pre-eclampsia well before western medicine would have. I'm happy to share more if you're interested.
Hi! Congratulations first and I cannot answer your first question but I just had a homebirth in February and had a wonderful experience with my midwife team. It was through Community Birth Works and both Cynthia and Sophia were amazing throughout my care and the successful HBA2C.
I received amazing midwifery care from Amanda & Jeannie at East Bay Midwives!
I also received amazing midwifery care from Amanda & Jeannie at East Bay Midwives - highly recommend them!
A second to the wonderful experience with Amanda and Jeannie of East Bay Midwives! Jeannie delivered both my boys and we couldn't have loved our experience with them more.
I worked with Alana Diamos, who is a colleague and peer of Michelle Wellborn's and I LOVED her. Happy to chat one on one about my experience with her if that would be helpful to you, just contact me directly.
I'm here to third Jeannie & Amanda at East Bay Midwives. They are wonderful!
I worked with Cynthia at Community Birth Works for my most recent pregnancy & delivery, and Amanda at East Bay Midwives was on my first midwifery team back when she was still an apprentice midwife. I can heartily recommend both. Cynthia is the more seasoned and older of the two (I believe she’s been a midwife now for 25 years? My partner and I estimated that she’s probably attended no fewer than 1,000 births), but Amanda has a very delightful and warm presence, which really counts for a lot when you’re doing something as intense as labor ;)
