Meet the Business Owner

Laura E.

Business Owner

In September of 2004 Laura opened Alma Midwifery in central Portland. This was a huge endeavor and would not have happened without the help of many friends and the support of people who believe in the Midwifery Model of Care. Laura serves as director of Alma and continues to practice as a licensed midwife. After being involved in birth for over twenty years she stills loves working with families around birth time!

Personal birth experience includes four children birthed at home from 1984 – 1997 with the help of midwives. They are the loves of her life and are named Dylan, Chloe, Noah and Liam.

Hobbies and life outside of Alma: Laura, her husband Todd, three children and various pets live about 15 minutes from Alma. Hearth and home are very dear to Laura. She enjoys family, friends, celebration, the natural world, hiking, camping, backpacking, swimming, biking and all types of art. Greeting new beings is pretty high on her list of good times.
