The beauty of midwifery care is a core belief in normal birth, and a commitment to a very personal relationship that provides you with continuous, individualized care in the setting of your choice—home, birth center, or hospital. We welcome your family, friends or support professionals as an integral part of your birth experience.

We believe in the normalcy of birth…women’s bodies are designed to do this work! We encourage the natural process of labor with the use of mobility, water tubs, physical and emotional comfort measures, the ability to eat and drink as you desire, and a trusting relationship between family and midwife. We are experienced with water birth, and fathers or partners often catch their own baby with the midwife's guidance. Of course, we are also trained to recognize when labor is not normal, and have consulting relationships with doctors in the event of an emergency. If you need to go to the hospital, your midwife always comes with you.

Your baby will be born into your arms and stay there with you to encourage early breastfeeding. We will provide you baby’s initial newborn care and give you information about what to expect in the coming days and weeks to monitor your baby’s healthy development.
