Anjli was born and raised in Michigan, growing up knowing that she wanted to spend her life making the world a better place. She has made it her mission to improve healthcare first by addressing inequality across the globe, empower ideas and change, and never stop fighting for a just cause. Being a midwife, she feels she gets to do this everyday by protecting the birth of mothers and children -our future - in the safest, most loving way possible.
Anjli Hinman graduated with honors from the University of Michigan in 2002, holding a dual degree in Biology and Women’s Studies. She kept herself busy during those four years, becoming involved with organizations such as the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center and raising money for pediatric rehabilitation programs through an Annual Dance Marathon. After graduating, Anjli left Michigan to work on her Masters in Public Health at Boston University where she concentrated on Maternal and Child Health and held an internship with the Department of Public Health working with Family Planning Clinics around the metro Boston area.

Anjli then moved to Atlanta, Georgia to complete her education in the profession she now knows was meant for her all along. She was a Woodruff Fellow and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2008 from Emory University’s Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner Program. During her training, she served as a leader in many student-led non-profit organizations with a missions to create a statewide community of interdisciplinary health professionals students that are engaged in education, activism, and service. She has become heavily involved with political advocacy and has been known to show her face often at the capitol and legislative events lobbying for issues that affect her patients, their families, and her community. She has been involved with community work in rural Georgia, traveled on medical mission trips to Haiti and Jamaica, and continues to work with homeless families and youth in Atlanta. Her work has been focused on leadership development, grassroots advocacy, and community engagement. She is committed to increasing access to birth options and midwifery care and eliminating health disparities. From 2008-2010, she served as a committee member on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Initiative on the Future of Nursing at the Institute of Medicine, and co-authored the report “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.”
Anjli has worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Emory Crawford Long Hospital, completed her midwifery training at Northside Hospital, worked as a CNM at North Fulton Regional Hospital where she started doing waterbirths under the mentorship of Margaret Strickhouser, and for 6 years practiced at Intown Midwifery with hospital privileges at Atlanta Medical Center before helping to open Atlanta Birth Center. She is co-founder of Atlanta Birth Center and currently serves as Midwife Director, leading a movement of compassionate providers, volunteers and community supporters to operate Atlanta’s only birth center. She strongly believes in empowered childbirth, the power of having a supportive team for women and mothers, and ensuring the best health of every child and family through excellent prenatal care. She has a strong interest and is pursuing training in Functional Medicine and holistic healthcare, and is also a board certified family nurse practitioner. She considers it a privilege to care for all.
Anjli lives in Newnan, GA and feels honored to have become a mother herself in 2014 to a son who was born at home with the loving support and guidance of her husband, mother, sister, midwives, and doula. She welcomed her twin daughters in 2018 with the same incredible support.
