Lizzy Carroll
​ Student Midwife


Lizzy is a student midwife at Mercy In Action College of Midwifery and a missionary kid from Uganda, East Africa. When asked why she wants to be a midwife, Lizzy says the answer is quite simple: “I love God, and I love people. Midwives have an opportunity to connect with women and families on a very personal level and to be a tangible expression of Jesus’ love and compassion.”
While Lizzy always knew that she wanted to be a missionary, her passion for midwifery began in high school, when she watched a short film about the need for missionary midwives. After attending her first birth as a doula, her desire to offer safe, compassionate maternity care for women continued to grow. 
From 2018-2020, Lizzy trained under two wonderful CPMs at a Texas birth center, where she participated in all aspects of client care. She recently moved to Kansas to continue her training at Wichita Birth Assistance, where she is eager to learn alongside a team of like-minded, experienced midwives. 
To Lizzy, the most rewarding part of midwifery is empowering women to make informed decisions about their care, as well as creating space for families to process their challenges and joys. “It is always an honor to be welcomed into such an intimate, life-changing journey,” Lizzy says. “While pregnancy, birth, and parenthood are not always easy, I want families to know that we are here to listen to, support, and encourage them each step along the way.”
When she isn’t studying or assisting at a birth, Lizzy enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends, volunteering at church, writing letters, making cards, crocheting baby hats, and tending her vegetable garden.

Erin grew up in the Wichita area, surrounded by midwives, and in her early 20’s began helping them at homebirths by charting. With an ever growing love for the miracle of birth and a deepening respect for midwives, she knew she wanted to be part of a birth team. This desire to be an integral part of a birth team lead Erin to pursue her certification as a birth doula. Ultimately, her dream was always to train and work alongside of the midwives in the Wichita area, and in April of 2019, Erin began shadowing the midwives of Wichita Birth Assistance, training as a Midwife Assistant. She loves serving the midwives and homebirth families in this capacity and is looking forward to becoming more involved in the birth community.
