The Midwife & Midwifery Care
Emily Sloan, APRN, CNM
Emily Sloan is a board certified nurse-midwife whose personal experience shaped her desire to work as a midwife. She has eight children and birthed them all naturally, choosing a planned home birth for her last three deliveries. As a practitioner that recognizes the power of women and their bodies and trusts the normal process of birth, she is proud to have the opportunity to empower women to make their own informed choices and watch them grow in confidence as they approach motherhood.
Emily earned her Bachelor’s in Biology from Southern Methodist University and her Bachelors’ in Nursing and Doctorate in Nurse-Midwifery at Baylor University. She is currently enrolled in a women’s health integrative and functional medicine certification program. Emily’s experience also includes educating future nurses by teaching in the undergraduate nursing program at Baylor University. With an interest in improving international health, Emily has traveled to South Africa to study the HIV/AIDS pandemic in urban and rural communities, to India to speak and lead midwifery workshops about postpartum hemorrhage management, and to Mexico to train community workers in the Maya population of the Yucatán Peninsula to help improve prenatal nutrition and gestational weight gain.
