About
Megan Trinter joined Birthways in 2003 and offers Labor Support and Private Education, as well as occasional Postpartum care. She has provided care to infants and older children and their families since 1999 and is a mother herself.
After graduating from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Children, Youth & Family Services, Megan interned at Global Yoga and Wellness Center, coordinating programs for pregnant women and new mothers. She also coordinated and attended the Childbirth Assistant Training through the Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators.
Megan has attended births at home and at nearly every major hospital in the area. She has been to over 300 births. She has supported a wide variety of families, including those planning medicated and unmedicated births, first-time mothers and families with older siblings, single mothers, water births, and VBACs. Megan brings a deep respect for birth and laboring mothers to her support of the entire expectant family. She is also certified to support HypnoBirthing couples, following training in 2015.
As a Certified Professional Midwife, Megan also brings a deeper clinical knowledge to her work. As a postpartum doula, she has worked with families with premature and multiple infants, new mothers in need of breastfeeding support, and has provided day and overnight care. Her academic and caregiving experiences, as well as her experiences as a mother, make her a great resource for new families. Megan brings decades of experience, knowledge, and skill to her work as a doula.

Megan brought her great sense of humor, some lovely comfort measures, and the music! She was there for my entire induction and birth, so I really couldn’t have asked for more!
Megan was supportive in every regard. She rocks. We couldn’t have done it without her.
