At Like Mother Like Daughter Midwifery, I strive to make your experience of prenatal, birth, and postpartum care a healthy balance of the traditional practices and medical training of midwifery. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Why I’m a Midwife
Danielle Shealy CD(DONA), CPM, LM
My journey with home birth midwifery goes back to the day I was born at home. It not only changed my mother's life forever, but it also changed mine. I was the only one out of four to be born at home. About a year after my birth, my mother became a midwife's assistant. That led her into the passion and joy of midwifery. When I was older my mother went back to school to become a midwife. She is about to celebrate her 10th year as a practicing midwife. Growing up I never would have thought this would have been my calling and path. At the time I was in a Russian ballet company, anything medical was not on my radar. At 17, I graduated high school unsure of my path. By 18, my mother convinced me to attend a few births. This changed my life and heart forever. I witnessed incredible women, doing incredible things, with incredible support and love. I became a DONA certified doula to continue working on birth teams as I started looking into midwifery schools. I obtained my education at the National Midwifery Institute and graduated in 2018. In my apprenticeship I had the great privilege of working with my mother Jami Morris LM, CPM, and Susan Smart LM, CPM,. Following my graduation, I passed the national midwifery boards of NARM. My heart and passion are in midwifery. My joy is in assisting women in one of life's greatest journeys. I truly believe I have the greatest job in the world. The experience of pregnancy and birth has changed over the years, especially in today’s modern era. I believe that the need for caring, sensitive and traditional midwifery practices during this time is becoming more and more apparent. I see every pregnancy and birth as a miracle, and I feel honored to be considered to be a part of your new adventure.
