Rachel Simpson, a dedicated Maryland native, has made Frederick County her home for over two decades. Her passion for healthcare began with a Bachelor’s in Sociology from Hood College, followed by a Bachelor's in Nursing at the University of Maryland. Subsequently, Rachel spent a decade as a compassionate labor & delivery nurse, witnessing the profound impact midwifery care can have on birthing experiences and lives. Driven by a desire to enhance maternal care, she pursued a Master’s in Nursing, specializing in midwifery.

With a focus on women's reproductive health and childbirth/post-partum care, Rachel holds certifications as an RN in obstetrics and electronic fetal monitoring. Her philosophy of care is grounded in providing evidence-based practices and ensuring informed consent. Central to her approach is patient education, respect, and the belief in bodily autonomy, fostering a shared decision-making process.

She loves supporting expectant mothers and their families at the midwifery group in Simmonds, Martin & Helmbrecht, where she nurtures her passion for maternal care and community service.
