Birth Roots Community Midwifery is honored to serve communities of the Chicagoland area, the original lands of the Anishinaabe (ä-ni-shiˈnȯ-bā) - Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe (ō-jib′-wā), Odawa (ō-dah-wah), and Bodéwadmi (potawatomi), the Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-show-nee - Iroquois), Ho-chungra (ho-chunk), Kiikaapoi (kickapoo), Mamaceqtaw (menominee), Wea, Myaamia (miami), and Meshkwahkihaki (meskwaki), and the Illinois Confederation (13 Nations - Kaskaskia, Maroa, Cahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Tapouaro, Coiracoentanon, Espeminka, Moingwena, Chinkoa, Chepoussa, and the Michigamea).

We are the ideal midwifery practice for clients seeking holistic, heart-centered, evidence-based home birth attendance, birth and wellness education, mentorship, and reproductive health care. Birth Roots is a collaboration between longtime dear friends and fellow birth workers Corinne and Coté, and has been in the works for many years as the midwife and doula friends dreamt about how to do their best work together during walks in the woods and time around the fire. The Birth Roots co-founders discovered that they shared a passion for a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to birth work that brings in traditional wisdom – and they are thrilled to be finally bringing it all together in the form of Birth Roots Community Midwifery.
