My name is Ashtyn Silva, and I am a Licensed Certified Professional Midwife with an Associate of Applied Science of Direct Entry Midwifery. I began pursuing midwifery professionally after my own first pregnancy and birth, having had a positive and impactful experience myself in the care of Certified Professional Midwives. I am passionate about the movement making traditional midwifery a more common option for all, and making the option to birth at home with a licensed professional more attainable in underserved areas of Minnesota. My homebirth practice, Lifestyles Midwifery is based out of Jordan. I serve a wide radius, particularly the south metro and south/southwestern Minnesota, and currently offer all in-home visits.
Although I have traveled, I’ve lived in Minnesota basically all my life. I’ve been married for over ten years, and learned Brazilian Portuguese as an adult in order to communicate with my husband’s friends and family. We have two beautiful children who are also bilingual and were both born in the care of community midwives. We homeschool, enjoy our friend groups, church community, choir, and are mindful about the art of not living too busy.
