Meet Katie
Hi, I am Katie O’Brien. I am a certified nurse midwife who has been committed to patient care for over 15 years. I graduated from Georgetown University in 2007 and have been delivering babies and caring for women across their lifespan ever since. In 2014 I moved back to my hometown of Dover, Delaware to be near family and to provide care to my community. I have always loved teaching and empowering women in their healthcare journey and believe it is the heart of midwifery.
Our Sessions
All group classes and individual sessions are held in an environment created to provide a compassionate and calming space for learning, open discussions and, if applicable, peer support. Sessions are either individual or limited in size, typically around 8-10 participants, to be flexible enough to allow for participation from all attendees if desired. Each group class will have a topic and outline but will additionally cater to individual needs of the group thus creating a different experience each class. Plenty of time is built into each group class or individual session for questions.
What Our Clients are Saying
These classes are very informational but also very personable. Katie makes you feel heard and understood. She is such a great midwife, in general, and to have these classes available locally, taught by her, is amazing. She answered all the questions I had (even though they weren’t related lol). Plus, she gives you the reason behind a lot of questions you have. I highly recommend Katie and her classes! She is the best in the business.

Katie’s class was so helpful. I had my first child during COVID, so I missed out on a lot of educational experiences. The class allowed me to learn so much that I wish I had known the first time around. I can’t wait to attend her postpartum classes once our baby has arrived!

Walking into Mindful Midwifery is such a calming atmosphere and peaceful place to be. It is a comfy and cozy space to have a class and learn. Very professional, clean and she is so kind with providing refreshments. Love it very much!
