Aisha L. Olivacce, CNM

Being a midwife is my calling. Assisting with births, providing care for both mother and child, and helping them through recovery bring me great joy. This passion led me to earn a bachelor of science degree with a specialization in nursing. The journey from nursing school to becoming a certified midwife was long but rewarding.

After I graduated from New York University with a master’s in midwifery, I joined a birthing center as a certified nurse midwifery fellow, where I assisted with births, postpartum home care visits, and outpatient clinic visits. I then transitioned to NYU Langone, where I worked as an advanced practice provider midwife, and later became an outpatient certified nurse midwife. During this time, I managed triage, patient admissions, deliveries, postpartum care, baby admissions, and inpatient gynecologic floor management. It was the culmination of my interest in nursing, midwifery, and management skills.

Now, in addition to managing labor, births, assisting in surgical procedures, and postpartum rounds, I also provide patient care in the clinic. Every time I meet my patients, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be a part of such an intimate experience. And I am honored to have received the Doula Award from the resident graduating class of 2023.
