Madre Midwifery



Kalila Ceccarelli, CPM, LM
From a young age, I’ve always known that one day I would become a midwife. My passion for midwifery blossomed as a child when I read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. The portrayal of midwifery in this book deeply resonated with me — a timeless and universal process in which women support women in birth, and through this journey, they are reborn.
​
My mission as a midwife is to support women in trusting their intuition and provide them with the tools they need for a safe, healthy, and empowered journey from conception through postpartum. At the heart of my practice is a deep belief that birth is a natural process and that our innate wisdom can guide us through it safely and joyfully.
​
In 2022, the call to pursue midwifery became undeniable, and I moved to Prescott, Arizona, to begin my studies under the mentorship of experienced midwives who taught me the art of natural home birth. Eager to expand my experience, I continued my training in El Paso at the renowned birth center, Maternidad La Luz, where I had the honor of serving families from Juarez as a primary midwife under supervision. In 2024, I returned to Arizona to complete my clinical training in Sedona with Fabiola Merchant, CNM, and I continue to practice with her today. After three years of dedicated apprenticeship and didactic study through National College of Midwifery, I became a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) in 2025. I am deeply honored to offer my services to the communities of Prescott, the Tri-Cities, the Verde Valley, and Sedona.
​
Born under the vast skies of New Mexico, I was raised among her painted mesas, piñon-covered hills, and willow-lined streams. Italian was my first language, English my second, and Spanish has since become the language of my heart. From a young age, I developed a fascination with making potions and remedies, and a deep love for the mystical, magical, and sacred. This led me to explore women’s health and healing, beginning with my own transformative experience at 21 years old, when I naturally healed severe cervical dysplasia. This journey inspired me to pursue yoga teacher training, become a Rebirthing Breathwork practitioner, and explore herbalism as a community folk healer. My path also led me to study Chi Nei Tsang — an ancient form of abdominal massage passed down through the Daoist White Cloud monk lineage in China — under the guidance of Khun Ni, a master healer from Thailand. I have been practicing Chi Nei Tsang for the last seven years, integrating it into my holistic approach to women’s health and well-being.
​
Through the years, my experiences and training have distilled into a profound desire to support women in their holistic well-being, particularly in the realm of womb wellness. I believe that true health begins with nurturing the sacred space of the womb and honoring its wisdom. This desire drives my approach to midwifery, where I integrate alternative and holistic methods, empowering women to take an active role in their health and healing. I am deeply committed to offering a nurturing and supportive environment where women can explore alternative approaches to womb wellness, alongside traditional midwifery care, to ensure a balanced, harmonious journey through all stages of life. My work is a reflection of my unwavering belief that women’s health is sacred, and every woman deserves the opportunity to experience vibrant, empowered well-being.
