About Me
I love that as a certified nurse midwife, I have the opportunity to treat and empower women. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I provide prenatal care and support women throughout their pregnancies. I also perform annual gynecological exams with Pap smears, offer STI screenings and help patients find the right contraception methods for them.
My patients can rely on me as a partner in their health care journeys, and I am passionate about educating them about their treatment options and providing useful resources. It’s rewarding to build lasting relationships with patients over the years and watch their families grow with subsequent pregnancies.
My research interests are centered on strategies to improve maternal care during the postpartum period, with a focus on maternal mental health. I was proud to help implement practice changes in this area during my Doctor of Nursing Practice training, and it’s a privilege to continue this work alongside such exceptional and devoted colleagues here at The Ohio State University. My experience also includes helping to train midwifery students in my role as a preceptor, and I have participated in Family Practice residency training.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband, son and two dogs. I also enjoy reading and spending time outdoors.

My care provider was wonderful and answered all my questions
Great
NP was incredibly kind, accommodating and pleasant
This was my first time with Kristie as my former Obgyn retired. She was great, very professional but at the same time very caring
I have nothing bad to say. Very knowledgeable and informative.
She is just excellent, I love seeing her during my pregnancy I feel confident with her as she explained everything with details and provided advices
She listened.
Very kind and wasn't pushy about my concerns. She actually came up with a different approach than previous doctors. She also did more blood work to check other for other things others didn't.
She is thorough, kind, and listens.
This was my first time meeting Kristie, but she continued to solidify my opinion that all the OSU midwifes are fantastic! She was friendly, asked a lot of good questions about my pregnancy thus far, was patient and allowed me to speak, ask questions, and express concerns. She reassured me of a lot of things that were causing anxiety. I will continue to recommend the OSU midwife group to friends, family, and colleagues! They are just fantastic!
Excellent! Engaged, intelligent, compassionate, thorough.
This provider is amazing, thank you for being understanding and providing the best care you can. Going to see the dr is not always the easiest.
She was so great. She made me feel like she care for me and the things I have going on.
Kristie is great! Our interactions were also friendly and judgment-free. The exam was quick & easy.
When the question of past pregnancy came from Dr. Blake it was handled as I was trained an an SP at OSU- perfectly. Perhaps because the notes were made in my chart- whatever the case I felt safe, heard, seen, cared for and that I could trust her.
Ms. Blake was very kind & went above & beyond with my concerns.
