Perinatal Practitioners of Oregon Birth & Wellness
Eden Midwifery is a rapidly growing practice that was born out of the needs of the community to provide options for families wishing to experience childbirth in an out-of-hospital setting. Crystal Massey, CNM, NP is practicing in our community with the perspective that low-risk childbirth is a natural life event rather than a medicalized procedure requiring unnecessary intervention. Clients receive individualized personal care providing guidance for the physical and emotional experiences during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. Crystal is the only Certified Nurse Midwife in Lane County offering out-of-hospital birth and the only midwife providing this service to Medicaid clients. This has proven to be a vital resource for families who would otherwise not be able to access out-of-hospital birth. The opening of the new nurse midwifery birth center will continue to carry on this work and increase access for even more families.
Eden Midwifery is also deeply rooted in providing perinatal education for community members, professionals, and students. Crystal is a preceptor for midwifery students and previously taught fulltime as an academic and clinical nursing instructor. In addition to these students, Eden Midwifery works closely with local hospitals, providers, and EMS to improve communication and outcomes with transfers from the community setting. Crystal is currently involved in multiple state-wide committees working to ensure equal access and quality care to all residents in Oregon.
