Philosophy of Midwifery Care

We are of the same mind as Dr. Marsden Wagner:

”Midwifery should encompass “continuity of care; good nutrition; a normal, natural (non-medicalized) birth without intervention unless absolutely necessary; birth within the home; . . . and a moral respect for every woman’s need and right to be in control and retain the central role in all aspects of the birth process.”

We Practice the " Midwifery Model of Care"

We are Your Partners in Care

We delight in creating a spirit of cooperation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. Our goals are to communicate to you the things you need to know to be an active participant in your own healthcare. You will be encouraged to choose the path that is right for you in this journey – you will be heard as the ultimate authority in your own physical and spiritual wellbeing. We will safely facilitate your sense of agency and power in the sacred space and experiences of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. 

We Support You with Intentionality

We believe that pregnancy and birth are fundamentally normal, a vulnerable time of great personal growth. We believe that every word, decision, and touch have an impact on outcome; therefore, words that are spoken, and body language are carefully given. In all, I we strive to be thoughtful with language and actions.  We willingly pride ourselves in developing a respectful, trusting partnership with all clients, focusing on bringing comfort and empowerment during a time of change. As you emerge as a healthy and empowered parent, we will strive to hold that special space during prenatal visits and births that is relaxed and positive.

Evidence

We integrate the best of current research and practices with holistic midwifery wisdom. We have a deep trust in labor and birth, but also bring the clinical education and knowledge and extensive experience, and training that is so important for a healthy pregnancy and a safe homebirth. 

Inclusivity and Justice

We provide personalized and compassionate care where all individuals feel safe and respected, regardless of racial or sexual identity, class, background, family structure, circumstance, or belief system. We are firmly committed to making homebirth accessible to all who want it and are good candidates. We are passionate about working toward the health equity and reproductive self-determination of all individuals. 

It is our sincere conviction that empowering well-person care and pregnancy, labor, and birth experiences have the potential to transform not just the person cared for, nor simply the baby they birth, but their partner, families, and larger communities.

Let's work together towards making birth and life safe, caring, kind, and gentle for all.
