Meredith Davis, CNM
Appointments generally available in West Springfield and Springfield offices.
Meredith Davis’s impressive educational background helped build a remarkably strong foundation for her practice of midwifery. She earned her Bachelor of Science in International Health, magna cum laude from Georgetown University School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Meredith advanced her studies at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, summa cum laude and her Master of Science in Nurse-Midwifery.
Throughout her extensive graduate clinical placements Meredith enriched her classroom learning through important hands on clinical experiences with a special focus on women’s healthcare. Her professional experience has included diverse work settings ranging from clinical research, to international healthcare, to patient education projects, to doula support services and more. Meredith’s particular research interests have included uterine fibroids, the psychosocial implications of labor inductions, and malaria in pregnancy. Meredith’s previous work as a Registered Nurse as well as a doula has provided her with a unique understanding of the irreplaceable value of individualized healthcare, further driving her desire to become a nurse midwife.
"I consider midwifery to be the provision of safe, evidence-based care in a manner that empowers the woman and her family to make informed, shared decisions regarding her health. I greatly value the formation of client-provider relationships that are rooted in trust and collaboration. Also central to my philosophy of care is that pregnancy and birth are normal and physiologic processes, and that as midwives we should approach women as essentially healthy, while always keeping potential complications in mind. I incorporate midwifery care into my daily interactions with patients by using positive language, by being truly present during visits, and by listening carefully and responding appropriately to what women say."
Outside of the office Meredith enjoys yoga, reading, going for walks with her family dog Albie, and riding her motorcycle. Meredith is proficient in Spanish.
