Donna M. Galati, CNM

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) who recently moved from Lexington Kentucky to Fayetteville North Carolina. Initially I was unable to find a hospital job as a CNM and realized many women were doing home births. I decided to open Monarch Midwifery and start a home birth practice! After Monarch was up and running I was offered hospital positions but I would have to stop doing deliveries at home, I could NOT do that so I stayed working as home birth midwife. Over the past year and a half I have delivered 43 babies. My practice was thriving... and then my husband's job moved us to Fayetteville.

Originally from New Jersey where I worked as a Labor and Delivery Nurse for over 8 years. I started out in a small community hospital staffed by Midwives, where the majority of the births were natural. This is where I learned most of my skills and fell in love with the birth process. I then moved to a much larger teaching facility, where I learned to care for critically ill women and respond to emergency situations.  

During this time I missed the natural process and decided to go back to school to become a Midwife. I graduated from Hahnemann University in Pennsylvania with my bachelor's degree, and then continued on to Philadelphia University to complete my Midwifery degree. I have labored with thousands of women and caught over one hundred babies, and I still love everything about the birthing process. I am honored to work with women and their families, and to support them as they embark upon this life-changing journey.
