I’m a 7th generation midwife. I practice traditional midwifery as a Certified Professional Midwife in Wichita, KS and I have 4 amazing children. My journey into the birthing world began when I attended my first birth at age 18. I started assisting at home births and became a childbirth educator for 10 years. By the time I got married, I had attended over 300 births. After our first son was born, I took a break from assisting others in birth to focus on raising my own family. In 2013, after my children were older and more independent, I began pursuing my interest in midwifery work. Being trained by my mother and working with her has been the greatest experience!

I am a Midwife Practitioner with more than 30 years experience assisting in out-of-hospital births in Wichita, Kansas and the surrounding area. I was the Director of a nationally accredited midwifery school for 12 years. I love being able to use my years of experience in assisting women in pregnancy and going to births and doing midwifery related research. I have assisted at over 2,500 births and am committed to helping families have a safe, natural, God-honoring birthing experiences. After all, I’m a 5th generation midwife on one side of my family, a 6th generation midwife on the other side. Why retire when you love what you do? It’s in my blood; I must continue!
God has blessed me with 5 children and 18 grandchildren, 11 of whom I’ve had the privilege of assisting at their births. In Feb 2020 I caught my first great grandchild. I enjoy time with family, playing with my dog, Leo, and traveling. I’m also known in the family as the crazy plant lady!
This is the story of my life and how God redeemed me from a life of hopelessness to usefulness.

Taking our Mother’s & Grandmother’s Skill, Knowledge, & Love For Birth To The Next Generation

This is Susannah Lumley, Brandi’s great, great, great grandmother. She was born March 2, early 1820’s and died February 20, 1879. She traveled to births via horse and buggy.

This is Bertha Eileen Plunk, Brandi’s great, great grandmother. She was a horse & buggy midwife from the deep hills of Tennessee.

This is Brandi’s great grandmother, Martha Beatrice Pritchett, better known as ‘Granny.’ She once said, “Families in and around Finley would call on me to help the doctor deliver their baby. A family began calling me ‘Granny’ and everyone took it up and never knew my real name. My mother (not pictured) delivered babies before me, I just followed in her footsteps. I would look after every baby for about 3 days.” Granny was the community Midwife and Postpartum Doula of her day.
