Certified Nurse-Midwife
Who We Are:
Haven Birth and Wellness was started in 2017 by Nurse-Midwife, Lauren Drees who desired to provide care in a different way than what she was seeing being offered in middle TN. As a practice we have grown into a family where we truly value and care for one another. If you join our team you are getting more than a job but a community of women who will value and support you in the work you do as well as life outside of work.
As a practice we are committed to caring for women in exceptional ways. We do this by seeking to know women deeply, honoring her God-given worth, and equipping her to confidently launch in the next season. We provide safe, compassionate care in both our office and home settings, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of our clients.
To us, healthcare isn't a series of appointments. It's a relationship. We take the time to truly know our clients, care for them as individuals, and walk alongside them.
If you meet the qualifications, are passionate about supporting women and families through their pregnancy and birth journeys, and if you thrive in a holistic and collaborative environment, we can’t wait to meet you!
What It's Like to Work Here:
The way we care for women begins with the way we care for one another. We've built a team where people are known, encouraged, and supported because we believe that's where exceptional care begins. Here's how a few of our midwives describe what it's like to work at Haven.
"I love the freedom to serve women in a setting that allows for individualized care that helps them feel seen, empowered, and equipped for whatever comes next. And I love being part of a team that surrounds and upholds each other."
"One thing I really love about working at Haven is that we share the patient load. That means we get to have real, meaningful time off, which I think helps prevent burnout. The women I work with and the way we practice are what keep me here. We trust the process of pregnancy and birth. We practice holistically and with a low-intervention approach, but we're knowledgeable and not afraid to intervene when it's necessary. I never imagined I'd become a home birth midwife, but now I can't imagine practicing anywhere else."
"I'm so grateful to be part of a team that loves on each other and our clients so well. Every person is intentional, caring, honoring, and gracious toward one another and everyone we care for."
