BIRTH ASSISTANTS


Picture
Sierra Williams, Assistant
Sierra Williams began pursuing birth work after her first child was born in 2014. She began serving as a doula the same year and completed certification in 2015. Sierra is passionate about serving women and families in multiple capacities which lead her to working with Toni as a midwife assistant in May of 2016. She is current with NRP certification and is working toward more education as a birth worker. Having witnessed and been a part of births in hospitals and in homes, Sierra believes in women and their ability to safely achieve the birth they desire: she has birthed once in a hospital and once at home which has solidified this belief. Sierra received a B.A. in Foreign Language from Mississippi State University in 2010 and hopes to use that to help serve underrepresented communities in Mississippi and beyond. Sierra is married to Ben and they have two children; Park and Norah. They make their home in Starkville, MS.

Stacey Herrin, Assistant
Stacey Herrin has been working with Toni Hill since early in 2017. After having her first baby in a hospital, she knew that she wanted something different - something more natural and mother minded - for the next baby. She gave birth to her second baby in 2016 under the care of Toni in the comfort and convenience of her home which is where her love and passion for birth work was born. Experiencing individual and mother-centered care showed Stacey that there were lots of women who do not know that there are other options available. She has since completed doula training, CPR, and neonatal resuscitation with plans to continue educating herself to better provide for clients. Stacey is sharing this life with her husband, Landis, and children, Rowan and Bricker.
