Elizabeth Amaya, MSN, CNM

Elizabeth chose a career in midwifery after seeing the connection between proper healthcare and individual’s empowerment. She believes patients who have access to a provider they can trust will have less stress in their lives because their concerns are being heard.  Elizabeth loves meeting new patients and making plans for their health together. Whether it is discussing a birth plan or finding the right birth control method, Elizabeth finds it fun exploring options with her patients so they can feel excited about their care. She has a special interest in working with Spanish-speaking patients, postpartum support and Centering Pregnancy, a group-centered approach to prenatal care.  Living abroad had a significant impact on Elizabeth’s life. As a midwife, it has helped her to always consider where someone is coming from and try to understand what barriers they are facing.  Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her husband and two …children. She also loves gardening, cooking and watching live theatre. I strive to offer evidenced based, patient-centered care, each day. I believe in the power of listening. I understand the bravery it can take to ask for help and I deeply appreciate the trust that patients put in me.
