About Bree Grealis, MSN, CNM, IBCLC
Bree Grealis is thrilled to provide care at CT Childbirth and Women’s Center. Her return to birth center work feels like coming home—she worked as a student midwife and a nurse in a freestanding birth center in Tucson, AZ, where she facilitated Centering Pregnancy classes, received her own prenatal care, and welcomed her first child 19 years ago.
Bree is also a board-certified Lactation Consultant with an MSN from Frontier Nursing University. Over more than two decades, she has served as a nurse educator, labor nurse, and nurse-midwife, beginning with over two years in the Peace Corps in Nepal and continuing with labor and delivery nurse roles in Colorado and Arizona, nurse-midwife roles in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Connecticut. She has a special interest in trauma-sensitive care and using movement to support and enhance the labor process. She loves to travel with her husband and two daughters, one in high school and one in college.
