Our Team
Moriah Melin W. RM, CPM, NMBI
Every day Moriah is humbled by parenthood, partnership, physical health, and the ways she witnesses those around her rise to their challenges. She’s been supporting families in childbirth since 1996, and is currently registered as a midwife in Colorado and with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.
Moriah is also a death doula and educator passionate about end-of-life transitions. Her forthcoming book “How To Show Up for the Dying and Their Loved Ones: What to Do, What to Say” is written for folks who want to help but don’t know how when a loved one is diagnosed with a potentially terminal illness. Moriah has a wealth of wisdom in the field of pre- and perinatal somatic psychology and has been weaving this work into her homebirth practice since 2012.
She currently travels and teaches this work to other midwives and birth professionals. She loves raising her children in the North Fork Valley and is grateful to offer her gifts in support of the Healthy Human Ecosystem this community nurtures. She’s the founder of Standing at the Veil, an online support and education platform which over time has the potential to transform our current death and dying landscape.
Please visit her website and sign up for her newsletter to get updates about forthcoming books and trainings.

Rachel Snow RM, CPM
My path towards midwifery began at the tender age of 18 when I was blessed to support a friend giving birth in the tidal pools of Hawaii, dolphins including! I knew then it was my soul’s calling to become a midwife. I later began attending births regularly in 2013 and finally became a licensed midwife in 2020. I have had the privilege of working as a homebirth midwife, as well as a staff midwife at a freestanding birth center in Boulder, prior to moving to the Western Slope.
With over a decade of experience attending many births in various settings, I have cultivated a deep trust and confidence in out-of-hospital birth. I believe every woman deserves a safe and nurturing environment to welcome her baby, and to be entrusted with that responsibility is my honor. While I have always held immense respect for Motherhood, giving birth to my own two children significantly strengthened my love for birth and midwifery. Having firsthand experienced being held by the tender hands of midwives during my own pregnancies, midwifery care was truly life-changing for me. I feel incredibly blessed to continue the legacy of care, I too, received.
I strive to provide care for my families rooted in the energies of autonomy, sovereignty, respect for your individuality, and emotional connection.
In addition to my midwifery practice, I am a certified clinical herbalist and nutritionist. I have a profound passion for holistic health, and my offerings include traditional healing techniques such as Mayan Abdominal Massage Therapy and Ayurvedic postpartum treatments.
When I’m not supporting families in their birthing journeys, you can find me enjoying time in nature with my children, tending to my garden, or experimenting with fiber arts and natural dyes. I am here to walk alongside you, providing compassionate care and support as we embark on this beautiful journey together.

Her CPR and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) certifications are current at all times. Her suturing and IV authority are up to date with the Sate of Colorado.
