Midwifery Care for Home Birth Families
I take great joy in helping families with their pregnancies and births. Being a midwife is a lot more than just being there to catch babies. I am blessed to be able to help you through the challenges, as well as share in your joys and victories. I love getting to know the families I serve, and continuing to be part of their lives well after the 6 week postpartum visit. The families I help become part of my extended family. I feel honored to be present at the moment your baby is born, to witness his or her discovery of the world, and to watch as you fall deeply in love with each other. As a midwife, I believe it is of the utmost importance to ensure that birth is a peaceful and gentle transition for your child to enter the world. Birth sets the tone and creates the context for a person’s entire life experience. An important part of the midwife’s job is to honor the baby’s journey, respecting his need for gentle handling, and helping him to bond with his parents and siblings. Thank you for considering inviting me to share in this most important time in your lives.
