Keila Thurmond, Student Midwife

Kia Conroy, Student Midwife
My name is Kia Conroy and I am a student midwife, just beginning phase 2. I have been married for 7 years to my wonderful, supportive husband and we have 2 sons and a fur baby together. I was born in Bronx, NY and moved to Newport News at the age of 3. I graduated from Warwick High School in 2008 with an advanced diploma.

I have been excited and interested about everything birth related since the birth of my own 2 children. After giving birth to my oldest, I began doing more research and gathering information and discovering options I was not given. With the birth of my second son, I was more informed and felt more confident in all the decisions that were made.

I began my training as a doula through DONA in 2021. After attending a few births as a doula, I knew I wanted to further my studies to become a midwife. My own birth experiences gave me a deep passion in insuring that birthing people, especially those of color, are educated and offered the same opportunities.
