Tali Spiliadis-Midwife
My journey into birth work began in 2015 when I attended the birth of a dear friend as her doula. Since I was young I have always had an interest in pregnancy, birth and sexual health care and spent a lot of my free time learning all I could on the topic, so when my friend asked if I would be the doula at her birth I was honored and thrilled. Attending her birth was life-changing and stoked that fire in me to follow that passion into my work. In 2020 I graduated from a two year program at the Holistic Massage Training Institute in which I focused on pregnancy, and postpartum massage and bodywork. In that time I also completed a DONA birth doula training. While in that training I learned about the different paths into midwifery and from there began my journey toward community midwifery on the track to become a Certified Professional Midwife. I began classes at Midwives College of Utah and apprenticed with 4 different Certified Professional Midwives over the course of my training in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
​
Aside from my passion for midwifery, I love to be outside hiking, foraging, playing music and planting my feet on the ground or in the stream. I live in southern Pennsylvania with my husband and our nephew and was born and raised in Baltimore MD and have strong roots there as well. Learn more about my midwifery philosophy below!
Our Philosophy
At Morning Dew Midwifery birth is a sacred right of passage for you and your family. We believe parents should be active participants in their prenatal care, birth and postpartum care. We know that you are the expert on your experience. This means that informed choice, shared decision making and care that is individualized is central to the way that we practice. We know that not every person has the same goals and needs for their birth experience and we honor that.
We believe that our job as your midwifery team is to hold a sacred space for your birth. We do this by using our training and skills to focus on keeping you and your baby safe so that you are able to trust in the birthing process and bring your baby into the world surrounded by peace, gentleness and love.
