Sonya Datta-Sandhu, MSN, CNM

Sonya credits her mother for teaching her the importance of advocating for what is best for the community and that sense of advocacy led her to become a midwife.    Sonya loves midwifery because it embodies her feminism and her commitment to equality. As a midwife, she empowers patients through health education and support. She is passionate about providing accessible, evidence based and whole person care to individuals across their lifespan and during childbirth.  In the office setting, she provides emotional and physical support for patients. On days Sonya is on call, she is motivated by a strong sense of privilege to be able to guide patients and their families through the labor and birth process. Sonya also facilitates Centering Pregnancy groups and contraceptive counseling. She enjoys working with patients to develop their reproductive health plans. Outside of work, Sonya loves spending time with her husband and two children. She is also an …avid reader and participates in anti-racism work within the Kalamazoo community. As a midwife I am motivated to meet patients where they are in their health journey and offer emotional and physical support. My goals are to provide evidence based, patient centered and equal care to our community of patients.
