Our Philosophy of Care

We believe midwifery care is relationship focused, time intensive, individualized, evidence-based and founded on a trust in normal birth.

Relationship focused -

We are confident that knowing our clients well makes for a safe and sacred experience for everyone. We will seek to build a trusting relationship with you during each visit we have together. Also, we want to get to know your support network.

Time intensive -

From the time you start your care with us, you will notice that we spend a lot of time with people. Our yearly visits are 60 minutes and prenatal visits range from 30 to 90 minutes face-to-face with your provider. We are with our clients starting from the time they are in active labor, whether at the birth center or the hospital. Our midwives believe that it is important to provide advocacy and support for our patients throughout labor.

Individualized -

We know that everyone has their own story, desires and priorities. One benefit of a smaller practice is that we are able to get to know each family with unique desires and priorities surrounding your care. You are the expert of your body and the ultimate decision-maker.

Evidence based -

We stay updated on research, current recommendations, standards of care and options for you. Discussions always include risks, benefits and alternatives.

Trust in normal birth -

Midwives know that pregnancy and birth are normal parts of life. We only intervene in accordance with a clinical indication or a woman’s preference.
