Katy Skarlatos, is a Certified Professional Midwife at Authentic Birth Center · Wellness Collective in Wauwatosa, WI. In addition to her role as a midwife, she offers placenta encapsulation services, helping to support and encourage physical and emotional recovery for mamas in their postpartum periods.

“I am a midwife because I truly believe in the natural process of birth and that women’s bodies were created with the innate ability to bring life into this world. I believe in the spirit of a woman and in her deep inner strength and beauty. And I believe in the power of motherhood, with all of its joys and challenges. By walking alongside expectant mamas through pregnancy and childbirth, there are endless opportunities to help women discover their true strengths and abilities.  And by continuing that journey into the weeks and months postpartum, I have the honor to continue to encourage these women as they nurture and support their growing families.

Ultimately, I believe that the strength gained through childbirth will allow these gentle mothers and empowered women to impact positive change in their families, their communities, and our world. “  ~~Katy Skarlatos, CPM, LM
