About

Anastasia Haner Shepherd has been in the natural birth world since her first day of life. She was lovingly born at home into the hands of a wonderful midwife. Her love for natural birth grew as she witnessed the births of family members and friends. She started doing volunteer doula work in her later teenage years and went on to pursue her desire to become a Midwife. Anastasia has a strong belief in the God-ordained rite and ability of women to birth their children in a natural, safe and peaceful way. She believes that education is power and encourages every expecting mother to learn as much as possible about the beautiful process of natural birth and how to prepare for it.

She attended Mercy In Action College of Midwifery in Boise Idaho where she received  a holistic and evidence based education. She completed a 4 year internship as a student midwife in brigham city and is very grateful for the education and mentorship she received there. She became a Certified Professional Midwife and Utah Licenced Direct Entry Midwife in 2020. She is now happy to be working with and serving the clients and families at My Family Birth Center!

Anastasia and her husband Jason have been married since 2019 and are grateful parents of two children with hopes of many more to come! Anastasia loves the Lord Jesus Christ and is a witness of His hand in the birth process and all aspects of life. She enjoys being a wife, mother and community member. She feels blessed to share part of her time and support with the dear women and families experiencing the miracle of bringing life into the world.
