Rachel Mortensen
APRN, CNM
Certified Nurse Midwife
Cookeville
My passion for women’s healthcare grew from my work in labor and delivery, where I saw the need for compassionate, evidence-based care. Midwifery has allowed me to empower women across their lifespan, helping them achieve their goals. It’s an honor to be part of their birth and health journeys.
Specialties: PCOS; contraception counseling; physiological birth
