Elizabeth Kirkley, CNM

Elizabeth Kirkley is a board-certified nurse-midwife with a lifelong passion for caring for women at every stage of life. She began her nursing career later in life, prioritizing motherhood before pursuing her professional goals. In 1999, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Kennesaw State University with a clear goal: to become a labor and delivery nurse. After several years in this role, Elizabeth realized she wanted to connect with her patients on a more profound level, leading her to pursue a career in midwifery. In 2007, she graduated with honors from Emory University, earning a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in midwifery, all while working full-time.

Throughout her career, Elizabeth has primarily worked in private practice, providing comprehensive care for a wide range of gynecologic and obstetric patients. She has developed lasting relationships with her patients, many of whom she has supported through the births of all their children. Elizabeth finds joy in caring for women from adolescence to menopause, compassionately guiding them through each stage of life. As a dedicated mentor, she has also supported and trained countless midwifery and women’s health nurse practitioner students, giving back to the next generation of healthcare providers.
