Abby Henson is a student midwife studying at the National College of Midwifery, currently apprenticing in Houston with Jackie Griggs. After working for 10 years as a business consultant, Abby’s interest in midwifery began when she had each of her two children with midwives. After each delivery, Abby’s interest in birth work and midwifery grew stronger, and in 2022, she decided to leave consulting and become a midwife. She is excited to dedicate her work to empowering parents through the birthing process. Abby is also a Certified Lactation Consultant.
