Spotlight: Belinda Lashea, CNM



We are pleased to welcome Belinda Lashea, CNM, to the WBWC staff. Many of our WBWC families have gotten to know Belinda during her time here as a student midwife. Now that she has graduated from ECU's Nurse-Midwifery program, she is making the transition to full-time WBWC Nurse-Midwife.

Belinda has dedicated her life to midwifery and serving women and is an experienced birth attendant. A mother of three, she became fascinated with midwifery after the homebirth of her second child in 1998. Over the next eight years, she apprenticed and assisted two Certified Professional Midwives and attended homebirths in East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and Western North Carolina.  In 2007, she moved to Chapel Hill, and earned her BSN from UNC Chapel Hill in 2012, and then began her studies at ECU.

When she's not attending births, Belinda enjoys travel, her horse, hiking, camping, and Carolina Women's basketball.  She is excited to be starting this new phase of her career. "I already feel that I am part of the family at WBWC. I look forward to getting to know each of you, the women and families that make up our beautiful woman-centered community!"
