Our Philosophy

We believe that birth is a natural process and treat it as so.  While birth goes smoothly most of the time, we are prepared for the complexities of birth that can come up and are ready to address them.  We firmly believe in mother driven midwifery care recognizing that our role as a midwife is to come alongside of a pregnant woman supporting her and giving her the necessary information to make informed decisions for herself and her baby.  We believe a woman has the right to choose what tests or interventions she wants for herself and her baby.  

​

We spend time getting a thorough history to determine the safety of proceeding with a home birth.  We also use prenatal visits to counsel our clients to know how to keep their pregnancies low risk to help prevent an unexpected transfer.

​

We maintain certification in CPR (Cardiopulmunary Resuscitation) and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) and have the necessary equipment at births to deal with birth emergencies.

​

We use herbs and homeopathics to help support birth, if needed.

​

We allow dads to catch their babies, if desired.

​

We have relationships with local hospitals to help facilitate needed transfers during pregnancy or birth.

We have great relationships with many local doulas and encourage the use of doulas for birth to help support a laboring woman until it is time for the midwife to come to the birth.

​

We do offer VBACs (Vaginal Birth after Cesarian), vaginal breech birth, and twin birth under the right circumstances and with informed consent.  A second midwife is present for all breech and twin births.
