Midwifery Services

Homebirth midwifery care offers uniquely nurturing, hands-on care before, during, and after birth. Midwives are health care professionals specializing in normal pregnancy and childbirth who develop a trusting relationship with their clients which results in confident, supported labor and birth.
ALL women/individuals deserve comprehensive, compassionate, individualized, and non-discriminatory care. This is our birthright.

BIPOC/LGBTQ Clients

I am keenly aware of the health disparities among women/pregnant individuals of color in the childbearing year and am committed to doing my part to improve this (however big or small).

In solidarity with historically marginalized communities, I can offer adjusted rates, if needed, for women/folx who identify as Black or BIPOC or LGBT, Queer, and non-binary folx. Please inquire about specifics.
