Our midwifery care is individualized and relationship based. Over the course of your journey, we work hard to cultivate the foundation of trust necessary for deep physical and emotional safety. We believe that this physical and emotional safety is essential for empowered birth experiences, even when things don’t go as planned. We are honored to get to know the uniqueness of you. We will laugh and cry with you, we will celebrate and mourn with you, but mostly we will sit with you and follow your lead.
Prenatal, Postpartum and Newborn Care
We love getting to know clients and their families prenatally. Our care is both individualized and evidence-based. We take time to talk about testing options and what makes sense for you. Most of the time is spent with us listening to how things are going both physically and emotionally. We support and encourage a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Homebirth
We are honored to hold safe space for low risk birthing folks to welcome life in the comfort and familiarity of their home. As midwives, we strongly believe in birth… that it is a normal physiologic process best facilitated by attuning to the individual needs of each unique laboring person. We listen closely to our clients and offer our support and guidance through informed consent. We strive to ensure all of our birthing clients to maintain a sense of agency, even when things don’t go as planned.

Birthing Again
One of our passions is working with folks who have already given birth and are seeking a new, different, or healing experience. Sometimes our first birth doesn’t go as planned or we learn something about ourselves that encourages a different provider or birth setting. We love honing in on whatever it is you want to manifest this time around.
