AUTHOR

Premier OB/GYN LLC Was Founded

Premier OB/GYN LLC was built with midwifery at its center, aiming to provide compassionate care that honors both mother and baby equally. Our mission is simple: empower women, promote healthy families, and foster trust in the care they receive.

Unfortunately, many women have shared stories where choices were taken away or care was dictated without their input. These experiences often lead to lasting harm and erode confidence in the healthcare system. At Premier OB/GYN, we strive to change that by offering a safe, empowering space where every voice is heard.

About Book

Her Body, Her Baby:

Real Stories of Autonomy in Child-birth

“I will not push without an epidural.”
Her body was ready. Her baby was near. But Kieara’s voice—calm, clear, and unshakable—cut through the urgency. She heard the facts. And still, she chose.

This is the heartbeat of Her Body, Her Baby: real women, real choices, real power.

In childbirth, where two lives are at stake, decisions often collide with protocol. But what if the key to safer, more empowering births isn’t control—but trust?
