CATEY BRANNAN, CNM, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Catey is a Certified Nurse Midwife, with 18+ years working in women’s advocacy, support, empowerment and in birth.  Her experiences working with women in poverty, homelessness, incarceration, and in at-risk life situations became the foundation for her career as a midwife.

Catey’s work in birth began 10 years ago, during a summer volunteering in a free-standing birth center and health clinic, serving the poorest families in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.  There she learned the importance of keeping birth sacred and honoring the natural process of labor, birth and breastfeeding.  Since then she has worked as a birth and postpartum nurse serving in a small rural hospital, a large public hospital, a suburban hospital, two free-standing birth centers, and with homebirth midwives.  She is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and has taught childbirth preparation and breastfeeding classes.  

As a midwife, Catey is attentive to clients’ stories, desires, preferences and choices.  With compassionate respect, she offers evidence-based and culturally sensitive women’s health care.

Through her human service, nursing and midwifery experiences Catey has developed a model of practice which honors women’s innate abilities and wisdom.  She is proud to accompany women and families seeking whole-person health care, especially in pregnancy and birth.

When not working, Catey enjoys hiking and exploring the Colorado mountains, performing improvisational comedy and playing with her puggle, Gizmo.  She is married to Julie and is surrogate mom to Oliver, who lives in Michigan with his two dads.
