A graduate of Columbia University, Donna Papazian became a Certified Nurse Midwife because she wanted to educate and empower women about their bodies and provide safe prenatal and gynecological care. Donna believes that pregnancy and childbirth is a normal developmental phase of a women’s life, and that all facets of a women’s life will affect her pregnancy. “I enjoy the fact that I can empower women to take care of themselves and be a part of an incredible time in their life – during pregnancy and birth.” In her free time Donna enjoys designing jewelry, gardening, swimming, dancing and spending time with her family.
