Meet Osha Humphrey MSN, CNM
My Journey to Midwifery
As a mother of four, I know firsthand how powerful and life-changing compassionate maternity care can be. My own births left a lasting imprint on me and inspired a deep calling to support other women as they move through one of life’s most incredible journeys.
I began my healthcare career as a labor and delivery registered nurse in 2017, where I witnessed both the beauty and the challenges of hospital-based maternity care. This experience inspired me to pursue midwifery education to provide the kind of individualized, woman-centered care I believe every mother deserves.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a focus on Nurse-Midwifery from the University of Michigan in May 2024, and passed my state boards in July 2024. During my training, I had the privilege of attending 43 births and developed expertise in newborn resuscitation and perineal suturing.
Jackson, Michigan isn’t just where I practice—it’s my hometown. Having deep roots in this community means I understand the unique needs and values of the families I serve. My long-term vision includes opening a birth center here, creating a home-like environment for birth and comprehensive women’s care.
My Philosophy of Care
Woman-Centered Approach
Every decision about your care is made with your values, preferences, and goals at the center.
Informed Choice
I believe in empowering you with comprehensive information to make confident decisions about your birth.
Personalized Care
I only take a few clients per month, allowing me to provide truly individualized attention throughout your journey.
Comprehensive Support
From your first prenatal visit through postpartum recovery, I’m with you every step of the way.
