Miranda Flowers, CNM, is a certified nurse midwife at Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina. An Alabama native, she first came to Greenville as a student at Furman University, completing her bachelor's degree in health science in 2014. While at Furman, she was drawn to midwifery first through the documentary The Business of Being Born and then through Ina May Gaskin’s Spiritual Midwifery. After graduating from Furman, she went on to Columbia to receive her bachelor's degree in nursing and master's degree in nurse midwifery. Flowers received training both in a busy hospital setting as well as a rural home-birth practice. She is thrilled to be in a practice that offers patients true midwifery care with shared decision-making and a range of birthing options. She believes that pregnancy and birth are a normal life event, and our role as midwives is to educate and empower women about their bodies and to respect their choices. In addition to pregnancy and birth, she is also passionate about providing well-women care, from contraception and sexual health counseling to menopausal care.

Barbara Davenport, CNM, is a certified nurse midwife at Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina. She received her nursing degree from Toledo Hospital School of Nursing in Ohio, a bachelor's in nursing from the University of Michigan and her master's degree in midwifery from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Davenport has been a nurse midwife for 38 years and celebrated more than 2,000 births. Working with expecting families is a true joy; helping them understand the changes in pregnancy, how to deal with the discomforts, offering choices in labor and supporting women through the labor, whether it’s water birth or an epidural. She believes each woman deserves an appointment with enough time to have all her questions answered and to secure health information needed for a healthy birth. She and her husband have three adult children and are enjoying being grandparents. She enjoys exercise, tennis, hiking and especially Bible study and time with her church family.
