Nurse Midwives

Abbie earned her nursing degree from Georgia College & State University. After a few years of nursing, she transitioned to labor and delivery nursing at George Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C. After moving to Colorado to be a travel nurse, Abbie then earned her Master’s of Nursing in Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University. In September 2020, Abbie presented her Doctorate of Nursing Practice project!

Abbie’s time as a labor and delivery nurse was foundational in her love for midwifery. She enjoys being able to care for women at all stages of life, and she desires for patients to feel heard, seen, and truly cared for by their healthcare provider. Abbie’s favorite part of her day to day practice is the education aspect of health care. She wants her patients to feel that they are able to make informed decisions about their body and health. In her patient care, Abbie is striving to incorporate current, up-to-date evidence-based healthcare. While Abbie loves all types of patients, pregnancy and childbirth is her true passion.

Abbie is originally from the suburbs of Atlanta, GA. She first came to Denver while being a travel labor and delivery nurse. She fell deeply in love with the people and the mountain views, and she decided to stay! She is a new home owner and proud mother of her puppy, Muggs. Outside of AAWC, Abbie is busy spending time with friends, completing house projects, reading for her two book clubs, or, most likely, playing with Muggs!

Gregory grew up in Texas, spent his twenties living on the beach in Florida, and has called Denver home since 2019. Gregory is passionate about women's health and advocating for communities that haven't always had equal access to care. He shares his life with his husband, their dog Jaxson and their 18 year old cat, Coco. He is happiest with snow under his skis, dirt on his hands from camping and finding new corners of Colorado to explore with people (and pets) he loves the most.
Gregory has been a nurse for 17 years, most of that time in Women's and Children's Services. His main background is in Labor & Delivery, mostly in high-acuity setting supporting a wide range of birth experiences. He has also worked as a transport NICU nurse, which taught him a lot about staying calm and focused when things get intense. Gregory values teamwork, humor, and helping everyone feel supported, whether that is coworkers, patients, or families.
Gregory is passionate about offering inclusive, gender-affirming care and making sure every person who walks through our door feels seen, respected, and supported.
