About The Combat Midwife™

Why train with The Combat Midwife™?

Jessica has been affectionately dubbed: “The Combat Midwife” by the over 100,000 US Army combat medics, flight medics and SOF medics (Air Force PJs) she has taught in preparation for GWOT, OIF, & OEF. She’s a Midwife, Paramedic, & EMS educator who has a passion for Ob-Gyn and pediatric emergencies. Jessica has been instructing classes for Midwives, EMS and the Military and she is a published author regarding Ob-Gyn emergencies on how to navigate the out of hospital birth. Get ready for some tips and tricks for reducing anxiety and setting yourself and your patients up for success during out of hospital births and transfers!

Her expertise in prehospital medicine and specializing in OB/GYN emergencies and out-of-hospital birth transfers has been published in EMS World Magazine, and she has personally delivered babies in a variety of extreme settings—including an Afghan refugee camp when the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021.

Jessica’s fast-paced yet nurturing approach equips individuals, families, and medical professionals with the confidence and skills to care for women and newborns when it matters most. Whether training elite military teams or rural first responders, her mission remains the same: to ensure no birth is left to chance.
