Mission Statement
Brittney “Bebe” Williams, CPM, LM
Licensed Midwife and Birth PhotographerBebe graduated from NYU in 2012 with a Bachelor’s degree in theatre. After the birth of her daughter two years later, the trajectory of her life path was forever changed. Between doula and midwifery care, she was blown away by how nurtured and empowered she felt— unlike any other medical care she had ever received.
She became a doula in 2015 and has walked alongside families with a calm presence ever since, blending evidence-based care with intuitive support. A 2025 graduate of Mercy in Action College of Midwifery, she now has more leverage in supporting positive birth outcomes. A true New Yorker, her passion for autonomy drives her work. She is known for her steady presence, sharp clinical insight, and deep respect for each family’s unique journey.
Bebe is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) with the Virginia Board of Medicine. She believes that birth should be informed, respected, and centered on each woman's wisdom. She is committed to educating clients so that they can make informed choices while partnering in their care.
Outside of midwifery, Bebe loves spending time with her family which is her first ministry. She loves an adventure with her husband, homeschooling her three children, going on missionary trips, and sisterhood.
Drawing inspiration from countries with the strongest perinatal outcomes, we envision a future in the United States where midwifery care is the standard, not the exception. Where low-risk pregnancy and birth are cared for without the routine use of high-risk procedures. A future where birth is reclaimed as a sacred, supported rite of passage. The District Midwives are here to transform the landscape of maternity care—restoring dignity, safety, joy and healing to every birth experience. We aim to grow into a collaborative hub with in-house perinatal health professionals working together to support a thriving, inclusive community.
Vision Statement
Ashley “Asha” Compton, CPM, LM
Licensed Midwife and Spanish InterpreterAsha is passionate about creating spaces where women have community. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, lending a shoulder to cry on, or enjoying a meal together, support makes all the difference when it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
She is a 2015 graduate of UNC Wilmington and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish. After spending several years in the language world as an educator, she began her journey into perinatal health and became a birth and postpartum doula in 2017. In that space, she learned about the power of client education, bodily autonomy and physiological birth. Asha completed her midwifery training at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and Premier Birth Center in 2024, where she gained experience in homebirths and fast-paced, high-volume environments.
Asha is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) with the Virginia Board of Medicine. A bilingual midwife, she aims to expand her reach to serve women of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds. She looks forward to continuing the work she loves and improving birth outcomes.
When not practicing midwifery, Asha finds joy in spontaneous city adventures, spending time with the people she loves, and collecting stamps in her passport.
