About Me

Hi, I’m Allison Tartari—a licensed midwife, mother of four, wife and passionate advocate for informed and empowering birth experiences. My journey into midwifery began with my own births, each of which profoundly shaped me.

At 17, I became a mother for the first time. My son was born prematurely and spent three months in the NICU. It was an overwhelming experience, marked by a lack of education and support. Like so many women, I didn’t realize the risks of interventions being done to me during my hospital births because they seemed routine. With my third child, I had an epidural that went wrong, resulting in a cerebral spinal fluid leak. What followed was nearly a month of debilitating headaches, three blood patches to try to stop the leak, and pain medications that left my baby too tired to breastfeed effectively. This led to severe mastitis, creating a traumatic experience I now know is all too common.

That moment became a turning point. I vowed that no one would touch my spine during my next pregnancy, leading me to explore unmedicated birth options. This search for a safer, more informed experience brought me to water birth at a birth center, where I discovered not only the power of education but also the strength and intuition I never knew I had.

From there, I dove deep into research, learning about the risks and benefits of interventions. I became a doula, then a licensed midwife, driven by a passion to share what I had learned and to empower women to make informed decisions about their care.

My midwifery practice is grounded in providing holistic, individualized support that encompasses excellent medical care, herbal and nutritional remedies, stress management, and community building. I believe every parent has an intuition—a life-saving tool that is often dismissed or overlooked in today’s medical system. My mission is to help you trust that intuition again, to make informed choices, and to find the community you need to thrive.

Over the years, I’ve been privileged to care for hundreds of families and work alongside some of the most inspiring practitioners in our community. I’ve also founded two nonprofits, Healing Notes with Resounding Joy and Thrive Wellness Collective, both dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women, births, and babies. I am also the co owner of www.solace.com.co an online company that sells organic handcrafted miscarriage support boxes to women all over the world. We give people a beautiful tool to support the ones they love experiencing a pregnancy loss. Giving back is at the heart of who I am, and I believe we were put on this earth to help one another.

As a mother, I’ve learned to question, research, and advocate—not just for my children but for myself. Those lessons have shaped the care I now provide to others. I believe in partnering with all practitioners to create a tribe because you were never meant to do this alone. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, educated, and confident throughout your journey.

Let’s build the village you need to raise your family, care for your health, and embrace the power you already hold within.
