About the Midwife

Gillian Daley

I am a homebirth midwife and herbalist living with my husband, daughter and son in Westhampton.

I have been studying midwifery and herbalism for several years, including a 10-month herbal apprenticeship at Blazing Star Herbal School and the two-year WomanCraft Midwifery Education Program, along with much self-study.

I apprenticed for four years with Beth Anne Moonstone, assisting in prenatal and postpartum care as well as attending homebirths. Being able to provide true continuity of care by seeing clients from conception until after the birth of their child has given me a strong foundation in the tradition of Midwifery Care.

I believe that the healing arts are a continual path of learning, and I am always working to deepen my knowledge through workshops, conferences, and self-study. I am currently studying under Aviva Romm, President of the American Herbalists Guild, to further my education of herbal healing for women’s health.

I am passionate about my trust in women and their bodies and see midwifery as my way of helping women empower themselves. I consider midwifery a calling rather than a career, and feel blessed that I am able to attend women during such a remarkable time in their lives.
