Your Care Team

Natasha Holloway, CNM

My path to Midwifery took longer than expected and was not without its twists and turns. Even as a small child I was fascinated by pregnancy and birth and would mortify my mother by touching every pregnant belly I saw, friend and stranger alike. Initially I pursued the pre- medicine route but it became clear to me that I would not be able to offer the care that I wanted to provide to the women I served.

After this realization, I decided to change my major to Nursing and obtained my BSN at Shenandoah University with the sole intent being to immediately continue for my Masters in Midwifery. I was blessed to go into out of hospital birth, the area of my calling and passion, after taking my Boards and practicing at St. Joseph’s Hospital. I really do have the best “job” in the world because I am surrounded by loving Midwives and amazing women. It is an honor to be a backup to and work with an amazing Midwife and dear friend! It is my hope to serve you well.

Currently, I live in Winchester with my husband and my four children. I am originally from Tennessee and you will hear that in my accent. My son was born via C/S and my first daughter was a VBAC hospital transfer during a planned home birth. My second two daughters were born at home. My babies didn’t make it easy on me, but through them I continue to learn empathy, understanding, patience, strength, and the tenacity of woman.
