Hi, I’m Suzanne Colby

My love for healing and understanding the intricacies of the human body began with my first pregnancy. Deeply inspired by the changes I was experiencing within, I dove into research on nutrition, medicinal herbs, and the mind-body connection. I started perceiving wellness from a holistic and cellular perspective. Inspired by the correlation between inner alignment and health, I found harmony in daily mindfulness practices and intuitive meditation work. After attending a friend’s labor, I was overcome with an irresistible calling to midwifery and women’s health. While guiding, educating, and holding space through the vulnerable moments of pregnancy, birth and postpartum, I witnessed women step into their power and become their own advocates. I saw the strength of truly being present; the empowerment that occurs when we feel seen and heard. 

I am a Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and Certified Women’s Integrative Medicine Institute Practitioner. An accomplished entrepreneur, I have helped build multiple businesses, including co-founding Moonstone Midwives Birth Center, the first free-standing birth center in Northern California. 

NaturaVita Wellness is the culmination of over 25 years of education and experience. It is where my dedication to our community meets my expertise in communication, herbs, supplements, hormones, nutrition, mindfulness and women’s health. Connecting heart to heart, getting to the roots of where healing begins, and finding expansion of self, is where my passion lies. Intuition, science, traditional wisdom, and innovative testing are the foundations of NaturaVita Wellness. My mission is to empower patients through individualized, evidence-based care.  

When I’m not exploring nature or making memories with friends and family, you might find me snuggled under a blanket with a book. New adventures, dancing, and vibrant sunsets are what fill me with joy. Being surrounded by the people I love fuels my soul. Helping others fuel their soul, feeds my fire.
