Meet Brenna!
Hello!
My name is Brenna Kelley, I am a Muskegon county native born (at home) and raised on the lakeshore. Growing up I was taught that birth is a normal, physiological event and at the age of 14 I fell in love with midwifery as I began to discover more about my own birth story. My deep interest in midwifery never left my side throughout life’s twists and turns and only began to grow while living in Hawaii where homebirth culture thrives. I am a certified doula through both the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education (NITE) as well as DONA international. I started attending births as a doula in 2020 and have not looked back. I am halfway through my second phase of Midwifery school, attending classes through Midwives College of Utah. Not only do I work with Patrice, but I also attend births with Jen Holshoe as an assistant and phase 2 student at both home births and Full Circle Birth Center.
When I am not at a birth oftentimes you’ll find me at CrossFit or hiking with my Fiance Zack and my puppy Sundance. You may also see me at the Muskegon Farmers market working for the business Zack and I co-created together; Lively Up Kombucha
I am so ecstatic to be on this journey with Patrice and hope to bring more midwifery options to the lakeshore very soon!
