Ohana Midwifery & Wellness, PLLC, was founded by our Certified Nurse Midwife, Laura Gray, in December of 2019. Laura has a deep passion for serving women and their families. Being in healthcare for over 25 years, Laura witnessed first hand the effects of this country’s broken healthcare systems. Seeing and experiencing this led her to open Ohana’s doors. Since forming Ohana, Laura has cared for hundreds of women all over the state of North Carolina. Additional doors opened when Laura’s longtime friend, previous colleague, and Nurse Practitioner, Sherlene Blackwood, joined Ohana Midwifery and Wellness. Sherlene lovingly provides Primary Care, Pediatric Care, and Weight Loss Support.

Sherlene, a native of Harnett County, obtained her Master of Science of Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A registered nurse since 2007 and a family Nurse Practitioner since 2016, Sherlene has the experience and knowledge to care for clients of all ages. Sherlene is known for delivering highly personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based care. We are honored to offer care to the entire family: from newborn to adulthood.
