About Valerie Patroni

Val Patroni is a community based midwife, who has been in service to Mothers and families, offering authentic and traditional care, throughout New England, the Tri-State area and now central Florida for 15 years. She is humbled to sit at the feet of Life-Givers and safeguard the highest ceremony of all beings, the Ceremony of Birth. Val delights in braiding together her ancestral inheritance, with her years of lived wisdom and connection to ceremony, to reflect the uniqueness of each woman who chooses her care. She is the mother of her Womban Tribe, wife to her soulmate and a forever student, continuing to refine her path in Midwifing ones, into their truest and freest selves.
