Praise to these amazing women who support the midwives of Full Circle so well.
April Dawn, Student Midwife
April Dawn has been serving families with her whole heart for most of her life. Her journey toward midwifery began as a sophomore in high school when she attended her first birth. In that transformative moment, she felt her calling surge through her like electricity. Initially planning to become a registered nurse, April began pursuing nursing school but soon realized the hospital-based “sick-care” model didn’t align with her values. This discovery led her to explore and serve within naturopathic, chiropractic, food-healing, and massage therapy modalities. She integrated these healing practices into her care for birthing families, offering her gifts in service for over 20 years—long before she even knew the word “doula” existed. Now, with more than 30 years of birth support experience, April has joined the Full Circle team as a student midwife.
One of her favorite sayings is, “Birth is the first family memory.” She believes that birth is not
only our beginning but also one of the most powerful lifelong imprints we carry in our bodies.
Her mission is to offer the healthiest, kindest, and most loving start possible for each new human
she serves.
April is passionate about “mothering the mother,” believing that when we love and prioritize the
health of the birthing person, we elevate the heart of humanity.
In her free time, April can be found in nature, spending quality time with her family and animal companions, or cooking up something nourishing and delicious for the lucky families she supports.
Brandi Crosby, Practice Manager
I am a devoted wife and proud mother of seven, and my journey into motherhood has been one of the greatest joys of my life. After welcoming my first four children in the hospital, I went on to have my last three babies at home with Full Circle Midwifery. Those home births were some of the most beautiful and empowering experiences I’ve ever had. There was something so sacred about the quiet of our own home, the peace that surrounded us, and the intimate moments I shared with my husband as we welcomed new life into the world. Those experiences not only shaped me as a mother, but also gave me a deep appreciation for the gift of midwifery care.
Faith plays a central role in my life—I am Christ-centered and holistic-minded, and I believe in nurturing both body and spirit. I find great meaning in walking alongside families during such a transformational season of life, encouraging them to trust the natural process of birth and the strength that God has placed within them.
When I’m not working, I am with my family. We love cooking and baking together. Most evenings, you can find me at the baseball field, cheering on my kids, and I love being outdoors—whether that’s soaking up the sunshine at the springs, exploring local farmer’s markets, or simply enjoying time in nature. In addition to my role at Full Circle, I’m also a Realtor, and I find joy in helping families find a place they can call home.
Life with a big family is wonderfully full, and I feel so blessed to be able to pour into both my home and my work. It’s a privilege to witness families during such a sacred season, as they welcome their babies into the world. Each birth is a reminder of the beauty, strength, and love that surrounds this journey, and I’m honored to be part of it.
