Our homebirth care is based in the Midwifery Model of Care, a person-centered approach to pregnancy and birth care. Our relationship is built on trust and shared-decision making. We respect your intuition and bodily autonomy we work together to have a safe and empowering birth experience.

• We provide birth care in your home from 37-42 weeks of pregnancy and support in hospital if you labor before or after that time period

• At least 3 in-home postpartum visits in your home within the first two weeks, including a visit from a lactation consultant.

• All routine newborn care for the first 28 days of life, including a newborn exam, ongoing weight checks and routine screenings and medications.

• At 6 weeks we see you and your baby in the office for a postpartum visit to assess your postpartum transition, mental health, infant feeding, contraception and more

  Part of safe community birth is ongoing risk assessments to ensure that you continue to be a good candidate for home birth care. If any point you risk out for pregnancy-related reasons (we can discuss what these might be in your consult), we will assist you in finding a provider that can meet your needs.
