About Terra Crist

Hello! I’m Terra, a Certified Professional Midwife serving families across Northwest Missouri and the Kansas City region. I believe your birth is a story from start to finish and I would love to help you have an experience that you want to tell your friends and family about for generations to come.

My work is deeply personal to me. As a wife and mother of two, I understand the weight and wonder of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I’ve been the one preparing the nursery, asking my list of questions and rocking my sweet baby at 2 a.m. These experiences shape the way I show up - not only as a midwife, but as someone who sees you fully in your journey to motherhood.

I combine evidence-based care with intuitive support, offering a calm and steady presence through every stage. I’m passionate about creating space for informed choices, true connection, and gentle, empowering birth experiences. Whether you’re planning your first home birth or your fourth, I’m here to walk alongside you - every step of the way.
