Hi, I'm Angelica Nichols, the owner of Intuitive Midwifery.
I provide the opportunity for low-risk women to birth outside of the hospital. I offer my clients dedicated, personalized support for birth at home, in the comfort and privacy of their own space.
I'm a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) and LDEM (Licensed Direct-Entry Midwife). My midwifery education was facilitated through Aspire Birth Academy, Midwife Apprenticeships, and earning the credential of CPM through the NARM PEP process. I continued my education to become an LDEM in Utah, and a NARM preceptor and have helped to train midwifery students to become CPMs. I live in Missouri now but am still licensed in the state of Utah and travel to Utah occasionally to serve clients.
I practice traditional midwifery with evidence-based practices. Although I am licensed, I prefer to use natural, holistic methods whenever possible.
I am a DONA-trained doula, placenta encapsulator, and mama cheerleader. I am passionate about encouraging and supporting women to realize their strength and power to accomplish hard things. I believe the experiences that come through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood can be some of the most empowering and fulfilling things a woman can go through in life. I also believe that women need other women- to befriend, nurture, and mentor each other, which is what good midwives and doulas do!
I love learning, homeschooling my children, traveling, quilting, and music. I have a degree in music, play the violin and piano (a little), and am learning the cello. In the past I made wedding cakes, and worked as a computer programmer prior to becoming a mother. Being a mother in my opinion, is the most important job I will ever have.
I have been interested in pregnancy and birth since I was a young child and was so excited to become a mother, but my journey to motherhood was hard. After 7 years of marriage and many failed fertility treatments, my husband and I were blessed to adopt a baby boy and then a baby girl. Several years later, at the age of 34, I miraculously became pregnant on my own and had a beautiful baby girl, which the doctor said was a one in a million experience... he was wrong... I quickly had four more babies in the next five years and am now a mother to 7.
I'm grateful for all of my birth experiences. They taught me that I am stronger than I could ever imagine - all women have that strength inside of them. It's such a privilege supporting women as they go through the transformative experience of giving birth.

Read these and many more kind words from families I have cared for on the Utah Birth Suites Google reviews page.
"....I chose to have Angie and her assistant, Marian, at my birth, and they were both incredible to work with. They did an amazing job helping me prepare and feel confident in both my body and my baby for an unmedicated birth. I ended up having a home birth, and they were such a calming presence, helping me feel safe every step of the way.
As a first-time mom, I had a four-hour unmedicated birth, and both my baby and I were completely healthy. I am so grateful to have had such a positive first birth experience, and I plan to use them again for future pregnancies and births."

WE LOVE ANGIE!!! I have had two babies now with her, and I cannot say enough good things about Angie as our midwife. Every visit, every call, every interaction she was always so attuned to me and what I needed in that moment. I never felt rushed or forgotten in all the years we have known each other. Labor can be so scary, and having Angie be a safe, grounded and loving presence put me at ease every time. I always knew I wanted a home birth but I had never known another woman that had that type of birth before so I didn’t have any “oh you should go with so and so they are the best” people in my life. Finding Angie was the biggest blessing, so let me be that person for you. GO WITH ANGIE, she is the best ❤️

“Angie was my midwife and she was incredible. I felt deeply cared for, listened to, important and that my baby and I were in the best hands possible. Angie was always happy to answer questions I had! She took the care of myself and my baby very seriously which gave me so much confidence. My birth plan was important to her and we discussed it many times to make sure everyone present at the birth knew the plan. Everything went so smooth and amazing.”

For my first birth I went to a clinic with a group of providers, and it was difficult to feel connected when I was always meeting with someone different. It was such a welcome change to meet with Angie for every appointment and to know that she would be there for my birth. Angie was a great fit for me as a midwife! She has a deep trust in the birthing process and her nurturing presence put me at ease. One of the things that stood out to me during our prenatal appointments was the more holistic approach to maternal health. Angie always brought up nutrition and she helped me work on getting 100 grams of protein a day. My previous providers never mentioned that! ...My labor was very fast, and Angie, Seasons, and the birth assistants were awesome in getting the tub ready as fast as they could for me. My daughter was safely born in the water. It really helped that part of the care here is at least 4 postpartum visits. Women need that! Angie was very responsive to texts when I had a few questions postpartum as well. I would birth here again, thank you Angie for the beautiful continuity of care and friendship throughout my journey ❤️
