We are the ideal midwifery practice for clients seeking holistic, heart-centered, evidence-based, and trauma-informed prenatal care; home birth attendance; fertility, birth and wellness education; birth mentorship; family building support; and reproductive wellness and basic primary care. Our care is loving, professional, individualized, and equity-driven, and our clients enjoy access to the highest standards of midwifery care.
Prenatal and well person visits with the licensed midwife are at least an hour long and allow for relationship-building that helps promote the client's empowerment in the birth process through cultivating informed choice and mutual trust. Midwife home visits for birth planning and postpartum care help build a team of support for birth preparation and recovery.
