ABOUT ME

Welcome, I'm Crystal

I live in Atlanta, GA.... actually Decatur.

I've been educated at some of the top universities,

and love learning!

But I'm an observer by design,

and so I maintain a flowy, artsy, sacred vibe

in all my work

and in the world around me.

The spaces I create and the work I lead women in reflect honoring all I've learned outside the classrooms of education and pages of medicinal journals.

I am Crystal Bailey

5.0 Star reviews on Google for Moonlight Midwifery & Wild Herb Women's Wellness

Name fact: I never resonated with my name until I was 44. Then, I dissolved my Christian culture of shame toward earth elements and embraced being a Crystal, uniquely formed with energetic giftings and raw beauty.

Some FUN facts about ME

I redecorate my home and plant new plants in the yard constantly as an act of evolving the energy around me

Spaces impact us and others so much! The colors, the space balance, the feelings evoked by items. I value the moments of artistry in creating space and hold it holds me and supports others, whether that is a butterfly or a birthing woman.

I escape to nature as much as I can, sometimes in my Airstream, but always with my pup Max

My soul is happy with plants and animals, and it is fed by adventure and observation. With the on-call midwife life, I have learned to make buffers of time for me to be away, and now I do that in comfort in my retro renovated Airstream!

I love making pottery & decorating it with wildflowers

If I didn't have a calling to serve women, I'd just make art and grow wildflowers. I've settled on winter pottery classes as my art time. For me, guiding clay between my hands is as intuitive as massaging women in labor. My body and breath connects and I feel grounded and a part of something deep. The glazing and painting bring the beauty.

My heart lives in the natural world.
I find restoration in nature — my hands in the soil, or watching the butterflies flap their wings slowly while they perch on a flower I planted. I hike with my dog alongside streams, and I often escape from the city in my Airstream, camping among trees and rivers. These are the places where I remember what is essential — the quiet peace of the earth, the hugeness of something bigger outside us, and the beauty of being alive and doing the work given to us.

Motherhood fact: I am not a mother. I have elevated motherhood onto a pedestal, struggled to achieve it, and grieved it. Just sharing to be real. In my journey of healing, I found a way to midwife deeper though. I don't elevate motherhood anymore. I elevate all phases of womanhood, and I midwife the depth of those journeys.

Wisdom

Lots of educational documents, links and referral recommendations

The Functional Medicine Model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It relies on a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

Holistic

The feminine states of softness, receiving, flow and creativity are natural state of feeling alive as women. Understanding where we have been pressured to become masculine versions of ourselves and how to balance that is an important part of caring for the female body in it's physical, emotional and hormonal states.

WHERE science MEETS WISDOM

SCIENCE

I was trained in the language of science — educated at esteemed institutions like Emory University — where I learned the framework of anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based care. Yet the deeper truths of womanhood revealed themselves not in textbooks, but in practice — through twenty years of midwifery, hands-on care, and the quiet observation of women’s lives, bodies, and stories.

My learning has unfolded through direct experience and devotion. I have spent decades witnessing the living patterns of fertility, pregnancy, loss, and rebirth. I’ve studied under the guidance of wise women such as Susan Weed and Aviva Romm, absorbing their teachings and allowing them to merge with my own embodied wisdom.

This is where my work lives — in the space between medical knowing and intuitive listening, between the measurable and the mysterious.

WISDOM

I’ve come to believe that wisdom is born through observation — the patient, reverent watching of how women’s bodies move through life’s thresholds. My clinical experience has shown me that true healing comes when we trust what the body already knows. Each woman carries a story written in her cycles, her breath, her way of moving through the world.

Wisdom, for me, is the synthesis of science and soul — a knowing that honors both intellect and instinct.

INTUITION

From my earliest days, I’ve listened for what lies beneath the surface — asking quietly, What is here? What is needed?
Sometimes I ask God or the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I listen to the subtle energy that each woman carries — her imprint, her pulse, her prayer.

When I do bodywork, my hands lead. They have their own intelligence — one that knows when to go deeper, when to pause, and when completion has been reached. I learned techniques from formal teachers, including a renowned pregnancy massage instructor, yet the art of my touch is guided by intuition.

The same flow appears when I make pottery on my wheel. My hands move with my breath, shaping clay in harmony with the inhale and exhale — the same rhythm that guides my work with women.

RHYTHMS

All of nature moves in rhythm — the moon, the menstrual cycle, the tides, the breath, the seasons.
Labor follows this sacred pulse of contraction and release. The year turns from birth to rest to rebirth. Life and death weave together in an endless dance.

My practice invites women to return to these natural cycles — to live in attunement with their own seasons and with the larger rhythms that sustain life. It’s here that healing begins, not through force, but through remembering.

in all of this, I've learned

Midwifing is my core action, my descriptive verb

Wild Herb Women's Wellness was born from the union of science and spirit, intellect and intuition, body and nature.

It's a place for women to connect with their own wisdom- to feel seen, understood and guided back to their rhythm.

Moonlight Midwifery was born from the need of birthing women and babies to be seen, supported and safe in their sacred process of birthing.

It's where I hold them in my nest- protected, loved, and fed positive reminders of the inner knowings of this beautiful design.
