What is a Midwife?
Every birth carries the opportunity for powerful change in your life and deserves the chance to be a positive one. What makes a positive birth experience is less about the choices you make or how closely you stick to your birth plan, but is far more related to knowing what choices you have and making them with full awareness and confidence along the way. Your involvement and autonomy is what makes the difference.
A homebirth midwife is a licensed, trained healthcare provider who specializes in caring for people through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period — most often in the comfort and safety of their own homes.
As a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), I’m trained in both the art and science of normal, physiologic birth. My role is to support the body’s natural process, monitor the health and safety of parent and baby, and provide gentle, evidence-based guidance at every step.
Homebirth midwives bring clinical skill, emotional support, and continuity of care. We offer prenatal visits that are relaxed and unhurried, personalized birth preparation, and postpartum care that extends well beyond the first few days after birth. The goal is for every family to feel informed, respected, and truly cared for.
A Midwife’s Care Includes:
Comprehensive prenatal care and lab work
Continuous presence and monitoring during labor and birth
Immediate newborn assessment and support
Breastfeeding and postpartum follow-up in your home
Referrals or collaboration with medical providers if needed
Safety & Training
Certified Professional Midwives are educated in normal birth and emergency skills alike. We carry medications and equipment for stabilization, maintain emergency protocols, and collaborate with hospitals or physicians when transfer is appropriate.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
