Michele, a certified nurse-midwife since 1985, has devoted her career to providing equitable, respectful, and empowering care across freestanding birth centers, community hospitals, and an academic medical center. She believes that birth is a transformative experience and has witnessed how it shapes the family—positively when supported with care, guidance, and respect, and less so when interventions are poorly timed or unnecessary. Guided by the principle of moving from least to most intervention, Michele strives to provide care that is neither too much too soon nor too little too late. As co-founder and CEO of The Midwife Solution, her aim is to expand access to midwives and improve maternal and child health throughout Massachusetts. Michele earned her midwifery degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, an MPH from Boston University, and a DNP from Frontier Nursing University. Her dedication has been recognized with the Maternal Child Health Leadership Award, the Maternal Child Health Alumni Award for Outstanding Service, induction into Sigma Theta Tau, and election as a Fellow of the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
