Ronit Zelivinski, MSN, CNM, discovered her calling to midwifery at the age of five and has been devoted to supporting women and families since 2012. She began attending births as a doula while still in high school and later earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2017.
Over the first six years of her career, Zelivinski worked as a birth assistant, doula, yoga instructor, and infant massage educator throughout the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. During this time, she developed a holistic approach to care, acquiring valuable skills in breathwork, herbalism, massage, and meditation—tools she now integrates into her midwifery practice.
She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from The George Washington University and completed her midwifery certification through Shenandoah University in 2021. Since then, she has practiced in both home birth and birth center settings, offering personalized, evidence-informed care to birthing individuals and their families.
Ronit is honored to return to her alma mater, where she continues to provide compassionate, integrative care that blends modern clinical knowledge with the traditional wisdom of midwifery. Her professional interests include integrative and functional medicine, nervous system regulation, preconception health, and nutritional science. She also serves as adjunct faculty with The George Washington University Nurse-Midwifery Program, where she mentors both nurse-midwifery students and medical residents, contributing to the education of the next generation of obstetric providers.
Outside of her clinical work, Ronit enjoys dancing tango, hiking, spending time in nature, and savoring local, seasonal foods—especially when paired with good olive oil. She finds joy in R&B music, oil pastels, quality time with her siblings, and stand-up comedy.
