Victoria Osborne, CNM - Director of Midwifery
Vickie (she/her) is a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) who was raised in the Chicago suburb of
Oak Park. She has a diverse educational background holding a Master’s of Nurse Midwifery
(MSN) from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BS)
from Purdue University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (BA) from Syracuse University.
While completing her BA she also spent time studying at the University of Harare in Zimbabwe.
This foundation brings a rich perspective to her practice, providing her with an understanding of
the cultural nuances of healthcare and the importance of holistic, individualized support for
every client. She builds upon this knowledge to foster open, trusting relationships with her
clients, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and respected.
Vickie is passionate about community birth. She spent the first 8 years of her career at a
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Rockford, Illinois, where she had the privilege of
providing care to underserved communities. Vickie is committed to making healthcare
accessible, inclusive, and personalized, and she is driven to improve maternal and reproductive
health outcomes by providing evidence-based, compassionate, client-centered care.
In 2025, Vickie joined the Burr Ridge Birth Center as the Director of Midwifery. She currently
resides in the Northwestern suburbs with her husband Steve, a Kiwi from New Zealand, and
their four children. Vickie is a believer in the power of lifelong learning and the value of
broadening one’s horizons – whether through travel, reading, or connecting with people from all
walks of life. When she’s not welcoming babies into the world, Vickie can probably be found in
her car, chauffeuring her kids to practice and appointments, where she loves to impress them
and their friends with her eclectic taste in music and audiobooks. Outside of work, she also
enjoys Pilates, ice cream, and daydreaming about naps.
