WHY CHOOSE ME?

Hi, I’m Crystal Komp – a Certified Nurse Midwife, Family Nurse Practitioner Student, and Functional Medicine provider. I offer compassionate, evidence-based care with a focus on holistic health and informed decision-making. I specialize in supporting families through home birth and work closely with each client to screen for safe, healthy candidates for out-of-hospital birth. Here’s a little about my journey:

Before becoming pregnant with my first child, “midwife” wasn’t even in my vocabulary. I had always dreamed of becoming a nurse, and that path unfolded step-by-step — from nursing assistant to LPN, then RN, and eventually earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Over the years, I gained experience in postpartum, internal medicine, cardiac telemetry, and emergency care.

Everything changed during my first pregnancy. Like many, I followed the traditional obstetric path for the first 32 weeks. But something didn’t feel right — I wasn’t being heard. Despite being well-informed and eager to participate in my own care, I felt dismissed and overlooked.

That experience lit a fire in me. After a heartfelt conversation with a Bradley Method childbirth instructor, I began exploring alternative birth options and discovered midwifery care. I found a compassionate and skilled midwife who supported me through the home birth of my first son — and later, my second. Those births were transformative.

After moving back to Wisconsin, I enrolled in the Nurse-Midwifery program at Frontier Nursing University. During this time, I welcomed my third child, a daughter, again with the support of a midwife — this time in my own community. While studying, I also worked as a labor and delivery nurse in the hospital setting, spending nearly five years at the bedside. That experience strengthened my commitment to physiologic birth and reaffirmed the importance of advocacy and respect in maternity care.

In 2021, Health Inspired LLC was born — named in honor of my very first midwife and the inspiration she sparked. Through this practice, I offer a safe, empowering space for women at every stage of life, from adolescence through menopause. My approach is grounded in evidence-based, holistic care, where you are always heard, your autonomy is respected, and your choices are honored.

Whether you're exploring home birth, looking for personalized midwifery care, or interested in functional medicine support — I’m here to walk alongside you.
