Nina Simon

Nina has been working in the realms of birth and breastfeeding for nearly ten years. Her exposure to this world began at a young age, with her midwife mother attending births during Nina’s upbringing on the east coast. Her own interest in supporting birthing people through their childbearing years took hold after attending a midwifery internship at the Northern New Mexico Birth Center in Taos, NM. Following this internship, she returned to the east coast to attend births in her solo doula business, through a group doula model, and as a volunteer serving low-access communities. 

Nina happily returned to New Mexico in 2013. Since returning to the state, she has been involved with local organizations such as Southwest Women’s Law Center, NMBTF, Well Woman Radio, and the UNMH Birth Companion Program. She feels privileged to live in such a beautiful state and intends to continue deepening her roots here by supporting access to and knowledge of breastfeeding and reproductive healthcare.

Nina attended college at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she studied creative writing. She is currently preparing to apply to nursing school. In her free time she loves hiking, reading, and exploring the state.
