Meet The Midwives

Fern Creek Midwives consists of three midwives; Carrie Corbett, Heather Holman, and Caley Brown.  Fern Creek Midwives was started by Carrie and Heather in 2012, with Caley joining in 2021. Carrie, Heather, and Caley work in partnership to provide comprehensive, individualized care for  women in the Flathead Valley and surrounding areas.  Their goal is to work closely with women and families, guiding them through the many choices of the childbearing year.  Their combined experience in the midwifery field includes around 500 births, beginning in their apprenticeship and continuing in the present day.  They work closely with multiple care providers in the community as needed, and are comfortable referring to and consulting with the provider of your choosing should the need arise. 

All three midwives are licensed in good standing by the state of Montana via the Alternative Health Care Board.  They are certified in Neonatal Resuscitation, as well as CPR for healthcare professionals.

Caley grew up in Whitefish and knew her life’s work would closely reflect Northwest Montana’s immense beauty and powerful nature. Caley began attending births in 2011 as a doula, and is a graduate of Birthingway College of Midwifery in Portland, Oregon.
Caley and her husband Brian live in Whitefish with their daughters. Together they enjoy long walks in the woods, tending their gardens, preserving their summer harvest, and sharing meals with dear friends.
In addition to providing comprehensive midwifery care, Caley specializes in prenatal, postpartum and infant craniosacral massage and is honored to offer nurturing and healing bodywork to her home birth clients. Caley also offers personalized prenatal yoga and Arvigo self-care instruction.
Caley is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), a national credential through the National Registry of Midwives; as well as a Licensed Massage Therapist.

Carrie began her midwifery journey at 9 years old, when she witnessed the home birth of her youngest brother.  The daughter of an active home birth advocate, Carrie grew up with the understanding that birth is safe and best facilitated by midwives.  She has been part of the birth community since 2000, when she attended her first birth as a doula.  Carrie is a graduate of the Midwives College of Utah.  She has attended births in multiple settings including home, birth center, and hospital.  
Carrie and her husband, Jesse, live in the Kalispell area with their four spirited children; all born at home. Together they enjoy traveling, rafting, and spending time outdoors.
Carrie is also a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM); a national credential through the North American Registry of Midwives.

Heather has been active in the birth community since 2000, when she attended her first birth as a doula. After giving birth for the first time that same year, she started down the path toward Midwifery.   She attended U of M and FVCC working towards her RN with plans to become a CNM, but quickly realized that licensed midwifery was the better route for her, following her second birth at HOME.  Heather is a graduate of the Midwives College of Utah.  She has attended births in multiple settings, including home, birth center, and hospital (and the occasional yurt). She has a true heart for people and serves our families with a lot of laughter and love.

Heather and her Montana native husband, Justin, live in Bigfork with their four children. You may see her out thrifting, up on the mountain snowboarding, soaking in hot springs, or outside doing anything if the sun is out. She also has an impressive hobby of collecting wayward farm animals!
