Meet Your Midwife

Ali Connelly

CPM - CLD - CPES

Hi! I’m Ali, the face behind The Joyful Birth. I am a wife, Mama, Christian, Las Vegas native, and the list goes on. I am a birth enthusiast who truly enjoys helping families plan for and welcome new little ones into this world.  

My Journey

My own personal experiences are what led me down this path. 

After a life-long fear of childbirth, in 2018 I became pregnant with my first child.


 I had A LOT of fear- so therefore had a lot of dismantling to do. I chose to birth in a hospital setting, and after numerous interventions, 3 1/2 hours of pushing, I met my first born. I tried to do all the “right things”-- I hired a doula and a hospital based midwife (after firing my OBGYN) but still ended up in a system that didn’t truly support physiological birth. 


My whole pregnancy I spent so much time researching, studying, and trying to teach myself to trust birth when the world of birthwork was opened up to me. I knew I wanted another child soon after (which I did in 2020), and told myself when I was done breastfeeding I would dive in.


 In 2021 I became a certified Doula through Dona International, and started my midwifery apprenticeship with a local midwife who has been serving the Las Vegas valley for 13 years. In 2025 I achieved my dream and my hard work payed off by receiving my CPM through NARM (North American Registry of Midwives).

Get to Know Me

I am the wife to an amazing husband. We have been married for 8 years and have three children, one of whom was born at home. Being a mama is ultimately my greatest achievement.


My hobbies include reading, painting, and gabbing with friends. We are a homeschooling family, and I love all the extra time I get with my kids because of it! 


My husband and I serve in youth ministry, trying to make a difference in teenagers' lives. God is my foundation, and without Christ I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am grateful for His hand and His salvation upon my life. 


I’ve always felt I was destined for “more” and I feel I’ve found that in midwifery. I’ve discovered it's not necessarily a “more”- it‘s a purpose; a calling that I never expected in my life. My goal is to provide comprehensive, personalized care to the families of Las Vegas, and I am blessed to have an amazing support system that allows me to be fully present for the families I serve.
