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.
