Meridian Faul, CPM: Midwife & Founder of Born Midwifery
From Doula to Certified Professional Midwife
My journey into midwifery began in 2008, when I became a labor doula. It didn't take long to realize my heart was pulling me toward becoming a midwife. Training opportunities in Colorado were limited at the time, so in 2010 I moved to Texas to begin my clinical training.
From 2010 to 2012, I trained at Family Birth Center in New Braunfels, Texas, where I completed both my academic and clinical midwifery education. In February 2013, I passed the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) board exam, earning my Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential and licensing as a Colorado registered midwife. My first midwifery practice was based in Arvada, Colorado, where I supported mothers and delivered babies up and down the Front Range for five years.
Founding Born Midwifery, a Birth Center in Wichita, Kansas
In 2017, my husband's career brought our family to Kansas, and in 2019 I founded Born Midwifery. Since then, Born Midwifery is the first state-licensed, free-standing birth center in Wichita. I'm incredibly proud of Born Midwifery and of the team that works around the clock to provide empowering prenatal, birth, postpartum, and women's health care to families throughout the greater Wichita area.
Life Beyond the Birth Center
On a more personal note, I'm married to an incredible man who is a powerful force behind my success. Being on call 24/7 while owning a birth center and raising four children has its challenges, and without his support, encouragement, and understanding, being a midwife and running Born would be impossible.
I'm blessed with four beautiful children, all born naturally: Hazel, Knox, Zoë, and Saxon. Being their mother has expanded my heart and deepened my passion for life in ways I never knew possible. I'm so grateful for my family and for the opportunity to extend that same love and care to families across Kansas and Colorado.
