“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers...strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength." -Barbara Katz Rothman
What is a midwife?
Midwives are considered one of the oldest known professions. Modern midwives are experts in low-risk, normal pregnancy and delivery, and many specialize in out-of-hospital births. We see childbirth as a normal, physiological process, and believe in the strength our clients possess to deliver their babies. We keep childbirth safe by working closely with our clients to provide holistic care that recognizes that your health and wellness is more than a number.
Babies are born. Mothers are made. And families grow, develop, and transform with each birth. Birth is more than just bringing a baby earthside. The transformative journey for each member of the family is a tangible, vulnerable, beautiful transition full of meaning. Midwifery care acknowledges the importance of this event for each member of the family.
We believe the best model of care for the pregnant woman and her family:
promotes a continuous and compassionate partnership.
Acknowledges a person’s life experiences and knowledge.
Includes individualized methods of care and healing guided by the best evidence available.
Involves therapeutic use of human presence and skillful communication.
