Windi Muraszka, CNM, NP, MS
Windi Muraszka graduated Hunter College of Nursing of the City University of New York in 1992 and began working in Manhattan’s Upper East Side as a labor and delivery nurse. She attended Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, the birthplace of American Nurse-Midwifery. Her midwifery clinical training occurred at a Bronx Birthing Center, a Manhattan Planned Parenthood clinic, and at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. She then completed a Master’s Program at Stony Brook University of The State University of New York. Upon graduation, she took a job at Wyckoff Height Medical Center, a Brooklyn community hospital where she has welcomed babies since 1996.
In 2014 Windi worked in concert with several physicians to establish a visionary new type of private practice maternity care service. The Augury for Women’s Health and Midwifery was a true coupling of the science of medical-based maternity care with the humanistic centering of a midwifery approach. This amalgam of ancient knowledge and sacred midwifery lineage married quite well with a modern evidence-based approach to women’s health and wellness, pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding and has become an answer to the prayers of so many women and families. Windi has worked with thousands of women through the years, catching over 2800 babies and now serving two full generations.
Windi became intrigued with the healing and wellness-supporting properties of cannabis when several members of her close family and friend circle were diagnosed with cancer and auto-immune disorders. After completing the New York State training program for medical cannabis providers, she decided to delve deeper into this field and matriculated in the first university program in the country offering professional medical cannabis training, the University of Maryland’s Medical Cannabis Science and Technology Master’s program.
Windi continues to serve the women and families of New York City in her role as midwife and nurse practitioner, now offering medical cannabis as one of the many tools she uses in optimizing their health. She looks forward to continuing the vision of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians by focusing on matters highly pertinent to women’s health and the nurturing of the next generation.
